Description / Abstract:
These requirements cover:
a) General purpose and power transformers of the air-cooled,
dry, ventilated, and nonventilated types to be used in accordance
with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Constructions
include step up, step down, insulating, and autotransformer type
transformers as well as aircooled and dry-type reactors or
b) General purpose and power transformers of the exposed core,
air-cooled, dry, and compound-filled types rated more than 10 kVA
to be used in accordance with the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70. Constructions include step up, step down, insulating,
and autotransformer type transformers as well as air-cooled, dry,
and compound-filled type reactors.
These requirements do not cover ballasts for high intensity
discharge (HID) lamps (metal halide, mercury vapor, and sodium
types) or fluorescent lamps, exposed core transformers,
compound-filled transformers, liquid-filled transformers, voltage
regulators, general use or special types of transformers covered in
requirements for other electrical equipment, autotransformers
forming part of industrial control equipment, motor-starting
autotransformers, variable voltage autotransformers, transformers
having a nominal primary or secondary rating of more than 600
volts, or overvoltage taps rated greater than 660 volts.
These requirements do not cover transformers provided with
waveshaping or rectifying circuitry. Waveshaping or rectifying
circuits may include components such as diodes and transistors.
Components such as capacitors, transient voltage surge suppressors,
and surge arresters are not considered to be waveshaping or
rectifying devices.
