IEEE C57.15-2009

This standard describes electrical and mechanical requirements of liquid-immersed, single- and three-phase, step-voltage regulators, not exceeding a regulation of 3000 kVA (for three-phase units) or 1000 kVA (for single-phase units). This standard does not apply to load tap-changing power transformers. This standard is intended as a basis for the establishment of performance, limited electrical and mechanical interchangeability, and general requirements of equipment described. It also assists in the proper selection of such equipment. Revision Standard - Superseded. Description of design types, tables of 50 Hz and 60 Hz ratings, supplementary ratings, construction, and available accessories are provided. Methods for performing routine and design tests applicable to liquid-immersed single and three-phase step-voltage regulators are described. Winding resistance measurements, polarity tests, insulation power factor and resistance tests, ratio tests, no load loss and excitation current measurements, impedance and load loss measurements, dielectric tests, temperature tests, routine and design impulse tests, short-circuit tests, control tests, calculated data, and certified test data are covered.
