IEEE C57.12.39-2017

IEEE Standard for Requirements for Distribution Transformer Tank Pressure Coordination

Certain mechanical requirements relating to tank strength as well as static and dynamic tank pressure mitigation for liquid-immersed distribution transformers are covered in this standard. The electrical and mechanical requirements of any accessory devices that may be supplied with the transformer are not covered in this standard. It is intended to define the mechanical performance requirements to prevent permanent tank deformation or rupture of distribution transformers covered under this standard. These requirements will provide a more standard design of transformer tank and associated components related with both static and dynamic pressure coordination.

PC57.12.39
Standard for Requirements for Distribution Transformer Tank Pressure Coordination

This standard covers certain mechanical requirements for liquid-immersed distribution transformers with respect to tank strength, nominal and rapid transient tank pressure mitigation, and the requirements to prevent permanent tank deformation or rupture. This standard can be applied to various tank configurations for distribution transformers. This standard does not cover the electrical and mechanical requirements of any accessory devices that may be supplied with the transformer.

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No Superseded Standards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No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards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.
