IEEE 259 1999 Edition, June 26, 1999 Standard Test Procedure for Evaluation of Systems of Insulation for Dry-Type Specialty and General-Purpose Transformers
More info
Description / Abstract:
The intent of this standard is to establish a uniform method by
which the thermal endurance of electrical insulation systems for
dry-type specialty and general-purpose transformers can be
compared. These insulation systems are intended for use in the
types of transformers described in NEMA ST 1-1988 1 and NEMA ST
20-1992. In general, these dry-type transformers are used with the
primary windings connected to secondary distribution circuits of
600 V nominal and below.
Thermal degradation generally is one of the principal factors affecting the function of most insulating materials. It is the principal environmental factor in this standard. Other environmental factors such as vibration, thermal shock, and moisture are included to simulate operating conditions. These factors have been chosen in such a way as to develop and promptly disclose any significant weakness during the temperature aging of an insulation system.
This standard provides a statistical method for establishing a life-temperature relationship for an insulation system. This life-temperature relationship is relative. To have any significance, it must be supported by adequate field service data or it must be compared to similar life test data for insulation systems with known field-service reliability.
