dry-type transformer

dry-type transformer means a transformer whose core and windings are in a gaseous or dry compound insulating medium and that is either single-phase with a nominal power of 15 to 833 kVA or three-phase with a nominal power of 15 to 7 500 kVA, has a nominal frequency of 60 Hz and has a high voltage winding of 35 kV or less. It does not include any of the following:

• (a) an autotransformer;

• (b) a drive (isolation) transformer that has two or more output windings or a nominal low-voltage line current of more than 1 500 A;

• (c) a grounding transformer;

• (d) a rectifier transformer;

• (e) a sealed transformer;

• (f) a non-ventilated transformer;

• (g) a testing transformer;

• (h) a furnace transformer;

• (i) a welding transformer;

• (j) a special impedance transformer;

• (k) a transformer that has a nominal low-voltage line current of 4 000 A or more;

• (l) an on-load regulating transformer;

• (m) a resistance grounding transformer; or

• (n) a transformer that is in a voltage class greater than 1.2 kV and that has a BIL of less than 20 kV or more than 199 kV. (transformateur à sec)

transformer

transformer means a static-electric device that consists of two or more coils of insulated wire, together with the necessary accessories, and that transfers alternating current by electromagnetic induction from one coil to another to change the original voltage. (transformateur)
