IEEE C57.12.23-1992

This standard is intended for use as a basis for determining performance, interchangeability, and safety of the equipment covered, and to assist in the proper selection of such equipment.

This standard covers certain electrical, dimensional, and mechanical characteristics and takes into consideration certain safety features of single-phase, 60 Hz, mineral-oil-immersed, self-cooled, distribution transformers with separable insulated high-voltage connectors. These transformers are rated 167 kVA and smaller, with high voltages of 24 940 Grd Y/14 400 V and below for operation between one phase and grounded neutral and with low voltages of 240/120 V. These transformers are generally used for step down purposes from an underground primary cable supply and are suitable for occasional submerged operation. NOTE — Refer to latest federal regulations concerning polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination in transformers.

New IEEE Standard - Superseded. Electrical, dimensional, and mechanical characteristics and certain safety features of single-phase, 60 Hz, mineral-oil-immersed, self-cooled, distribution transformers with separable insulated high-voltage connectors are covered. Ratings, testing, and construction are discussed. These transformers are generally used for step-down purposes from an underground primary cable supply and are suitable for occasional submerged operation. The intent is to provide a basis for determining their performance, interchangeability, and safety, and for their selection. This standard does not cover the electrical and mechanical requirements of accessory devices that may be supplied with the transformer
