three groups based on their ratings:

◦ 3 Ф ( Sealed & Non-Sealed), up to & including

200kVA

◦ 3 Ф ( Sealed & Non-Sealed), above 200 kVA & up to

& including 2500kVA

◦ 1 Ф, sealed type, up to & including 25kVA

SALIENT FEATURES

IS 1180 (P-1):2014 – contd..

DTs have been divided into three

categories based on their Energy

Efficiency Levels:

◦ Energy Efficiency Level-I

between the transformer and Atmosphere, Having

breather and conservator

◦ Sealed Type- No provision for exchange of Air

between the transformer and Atmosphere, Does not

have a conservator
