PISCATAWAY, N.J., USA, 24 October 2007 The IEEE has approved IEEE C57.12.36™, “Standard Requirements for Liquid-Immersed Distribution Substation Transformers”, which covers selected electrical, dimensional and mechanical characteristics of these transformers. It clarifies requirements for this class of transformers by combining selected distribution requirements from IEEE C57.12.34™ and selected product specifications from IEEE C57.12.10™ so users and manufacturers have a single location for all requirements.
It is also taking action on two other standards:
It has begun to revise IEEE P998™, “Guide for Direct Lightning Stroke Shielding of Substations”, to bring this standard in line with current technology.
It has begun work on IEEE P525-2007/Cor 1™, “Guide for the Design and Installation of Cable Systems in Substations - Corrigendum 1”, to correct elements of this standard.
About the IEEE Standards Association
The IEEE Standards Association, a globally recognized standards-setting body, develops consensus standards through an open process that brings diverse parts of industry together. These standards set specifications and procedures based on current scientific and technological consensus. The IEEE-SA has a portfolio of over 870 active standards and more than 400 standards under development. For information on IEEE-SA see: http://standards.ieee.org/.
