This document provides guidelines for specification of an ac arc furnace transformer used in the Metal Industry. The user is provided guidance on electrical and mechanical characteristics, environmental conditions, accessories, protection methods, and factory and field testing for two winding, liquid-immersed transformers for an electric arc furnace. The informative annex provides guidance on engineering studies to evaluate the application and determine the appropriate specifications of the transformer. Examples of ac arc furnace transformer applications included in the annex illustrate the approach including lessons learned from past experiences. The guide enables users to modify or develop specific clauses to meet a particular ac arc furnace transformer application.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
