PC57.159
Standard for Distributed Photo-Voltaic Transformers (DPVTs)

Scope This standard covers Distributed Photo-Voltaic (DPV) Transformers that are liquid immersed, dry-type transformers, or cast resin transformers for Class I power transformers and liquid immersed transformers in the Class II category respectively. This Standard highlights several design, operation, and practical aspects of such DPVTs.
