Description / Abstract:
This guide covers general recommendations for loading
mineral-oil-immersed power trans-formers, manufactured in
accordance with ANSI C57.12.10-1976 [1]1 and ANSI
C57.12.30-1977 [2] and other oil-insulated power transformers up to
and including 100 MVA maximum nameplate rating. It is based mostly
on aging of the winding insulation. Loading of transformers
larger than 100 MVA may be limited by factors other than insulation
aging such as stray flux etc. When it is known that such
limitations do not exist and insulation aging rather than oil
temperature, gassing, tank heating. etc is the controlling factor,
this guide may be used. This guide may also be used for askarel
filled transformers.
Recommendations for transformers with an insulation system which
conforms to the 65 °C , those rated at an average winding
temperature rise of 65 °C and a hottestepot temperature rise of 80
°C, are contained in Section 4 of this guide. Recom¬mendations for
transformers with an insulation system which conforms to the 55 °C
, those rated at an average winding temperature rise of 55 °C and a
hottestspot temperature rise of 65 °C, are contained in Section 5
of this guide.
The method used for computer calculation of the Capability
Tables for Normal and Moderate Sacrifice of Life in Section 4 and
Section 5 of this guide and examples for developing them by hand
calculations are contained in Section 6 and Section 7
