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.

Copper Windings vs Aluminum Windings

> Truths

> Properly terminating line and load

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.
