SC 14 - Data element principles

Gives insulation requirements for power transformers and the corresponding insulation tests for specific windings. Applies to single-phase and three-phase oil-immersed power transformers as defined in the IEC 60076-1. It Includes appendices on: partial discharge measurements during induced a.c. withstand voltage test on transformers; overvoltage transferred from a high-voltage winding to a low-voltage winding; information to be supplied with enquiries and orders.[
]The contents of the corrigendum of December 2000 have been included in this copy.

Assists in the selection of tap-changers designed in accordance with IEC 60214-1 for use in conjunction with the tapped windings of transformers or reactors. Also assists in understanding the various types of tap-changers and their associated equipment available. Covers both on-load tap-changers and off-circuit tap-changers.

Identifies the requirements for power transformers to sustain without damage the effects of overcurrents originated by external short circuits. Describes the calculation procedures used to demonstrate the thermal ability of a power transformer to withstand such overcurrents and both the special test and the theoretical evaluation method used to demonstrate the ability to withstand the relevant dynamic effects.

Applies to three-phase and single-phase transformers including autotransformers. Defines the rating and connection symbols. Gives certain specifications for transformers having a tapped winding. Defines information which shall be marked on the rating plate and the tests to be conducted. Supersedes IEC 60076-1(1976) and IEC 60076-4 (1976).[
