IEEE C57.12.00

Description / Abstract: This standard describes electrical and mechanical requirements of liquid-immersed distribution and power transformers, and autotransformers and regulating transformers, single-phase and polyphase, with voltages of 601 V or higher in the highest voltage winding.

This standard applies to all liquid-immersed distribution, power, and regulating transformers that do not belong to the following types of apparatus:

a) Instrument transformers

b) Step voltage and induction voltage regulators

c) Arc furnace transformers

d) Rectifier transformers

e) Specialty transformers

f) Grounding transformers

g) Mobile transformers

h) Mine transformers

Purpose

This standard is a basis for the establishment of performance, and limited electrical and mechanical interchangeability requirements of the equipment are described. It is also a basis for assistance in the proper selection of such equipment.
