IEC 60076-1:2011

Power transformers - Part 1: General

IEC 60076-1:2011 applies to three-phase and single-phase power transformers (including auto-transformers) with the exception of certain categories of small and special transformers. For those categories of power transformers and reactors which have their own IEC standards, this part is applicable only to the extent in which it is specifically called up by cross-reference in the other standard. This new edition includes the following significant technical additions with respect to the previous one:
- definition of harmonic content;
- subclause on transport;
- functional method of specification;
- connection symbols for single phase transformers;
- safety and environmental requirements;
- requirements for liquid preservation systems;
- clause on DC currents;
- vacuum, pressure and leak tests on tanks;
- facilities for condition monitoring and environmental and safety considerations.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:

• mandatory clauses to satisfy,
• non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document "ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents" as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
