scope:
This guide describes methodologies for determination of the steady-state winding hottest-spot temperature in dry-type distribution and power transformers with ventilated, sealed, solid cast, and encapsulated windings built in accordance with IEEE Std C57.12.01™ and IEC 60076-11. Converter transformers are not included in this guide.1
Purpose
Assumptions regarding the relation of winding hottest-spot temperature rise to average winding temperature rise are not representative of all dry-type transformer constructions and winding size. A uniform methodology for determination of winding hottest-spot temperature will provide consistency in testing and calculations for manufacturers' verification of the winding hottest-spot temperature to the user, and for validation and review of winding hottest-spot temperature limits.
