FOREWORD

This Indian Standard ( Part 2) ( First Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on
30 May 1989, after the draft finalized by the Transformers Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Electrotechnical Division Council.

Sealed type construction for distribution transformers has been developed in view of difficulties in proper
maintenance of a large number of conventional transformers installed in the vast and scattered rural areas
as well as the reduction in the maintenance cost.

This standard was originally published in 1979. This revision has been undertaken to take into account
the experience gained since then.

The major changes in this revision include the reduction of limits of no load and load losses and the
modification of terminal arrangement and temperature rise for top oil, in line generally with REC
Specification on the subjects.

In this standard, for various common requirements, references have been made to IS 2026 ‘Specification
for power transformers’ which is, therefore, a necessary adjunct to this standard.

The requirements of non-sealed type outdoor distribution transformers of similar voltage and kVA ratings
are covered in Part 1 of this standard.

This standard is intended to cover the technical provisions relating to transformers and it does not include
all the necessary provisions of a contact.

In the preparation of this standard, assistance has been derived from REC Specification 11/1976
‘Outdoor type three phase, 11 kV/433-250 V sealed distribution transformers up to and including 100 LVA,
issued by the Rural Electrification Corporation Ltd.

For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final
value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall he rounded off in acctirdance with
IS 2 : 1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised)‘. The number of significant places retained
in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
