Measures that may be taken to help mitigate tank rupture of energized liquid-immersed power transformers and reactors due to internal electrical faults are described in this guide. The release of insulating fluid or insulating fluid mist due to failure of the following components are not covered in this guide: load tap changer compartments, bushings and their turrets, conservator tank, piping, valves, pumps, and radiators.

PC57.156
Guide for Tank Rupture Mitigation of Liquid-Immersed Power Transformers and Reactors
This guide describes measures that can help mitigate rupture and uncontrolled insulating liquid release from energized liquid-immersed power transformers' and reactors' tanks and components due to internal electrical faults.
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No Superseded Standards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No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards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
