Liquid-immersed distribution transformer means a distribution
transformer in which the core and coil assembly is immersed in an
insulating liquid.
Medium-voltage dry-type distribution transformer means a distribution
transformer in which the core and coil assembly is immersed in a
gaseous or dry-compound insulating medium, and which has a rated
primary voltage between 601 V and 34.5 kV.
Low-voltage dry-type distribution transformer means a distribution
transformer that—
(1) Has an input voltage of 600 volts or less;
(2) Is air-cooled; and
(3) Does not use oil as a coolant.

10 CFR 431 – April 2013 Final Rule
Conclusion
Based on the analyses culminating in this final rule, DOE
found the benefits to the nation of the standards
(energy savings, consumer LCC savings, positive NPV
of customer benefit, and emission reductions) outweigh
the burdens (loss of INPV and LCC increases for some
users of this equipment).
DOE has concluded that the standards in today's final
rule represent the maximum improvement in energy
efficiency that is technologically feasible and
economically justified, and would result in significant
conservation of energy.

connections is more difficult for aluminum-
wound transformers
> Aluminum wound transformers are lighter in
weight than copper wound equivalents
> Copper-wound transformers can be made
smaller than aluminum wound equivalents.
> Myths
> Aluminum-wound transformer terminations are
incompatible with copper line and load cables
> Line and load connections to copper-wound
transformers are more reliable than those to
aluminum wound transformers
> Aluminum-wound transformers have higher
losses because copper is a better conductor
> Aluminum-wound transformers have higher hot-
spot temperatures because copper is a better
thermal conductor X than aluminum

Electrostatic Shield
Technology Allows for AC Testing of
the shield
Schneider Electric White paper
0150PD9603
AC testing has shown that shielding may have little value or no benefits when the secondary is grounded
per the NEC requirements. (Wye, ZigZag, and Center Tap Delta Secondaries)
Proper grounding practices, as well as placing isolation transformers as close as possible to loads, are two
major factors in providing high quality power to sensitive electronic equipment.
