scope:

This standard covers certain electrical, dimensional, and mechanical characteristics and takes into consideration certain safety features of single-phase, 60 Hz, mineral-oil-immersed, self-cooled, distribution transformers with separable insulated high-voltage connectors. These transformers are rated 167 kVA and smaller, with high voltages of 25 000 V and below and with low voltages of 600 V and below. These transformers are generally used for step-down purposes from an underground primary cable supply and are suitable for occasional submerged operation.

This standard does not cover the electrical and mechanical requirements of any accessory devices that may be supplied with the transformer.

Purpose

This standard is intended for use as a basis for determining performance, interchangeability, and safety of the equipment covered, and to assist in the proper selection of such equipment.
