Overview
SIST EN 50708-2-6:2022 sets forth the additional European requirements for medium power transformers utilizing non-conventional magnetic steel technology, including amorphous steel cores. Issued by CLC, this standard works in conjunction with EN 50708-1-1 and aims to define energy performance criteria for transformers using innovative core materials, enhancing efficiency and supporting modern grid needs. The document specifies particular requirements that supplement, modify, or replace the general provisions set in other parts of the EN 50708 series.
Key Topics
Scope and Definitions
- Applies to medium power transformers using non-conventional magnetic steel technology, such as amorphous steel.
- Ensures alignment and compliance with energy performance requirements as specified in EN 50708-1-1.
Energy Performance
- Details specific no-load loss requirements for both liquid-immersed and dry-type transformers within this category.
- Stresses the importance of high efficiency and reduced energy waste in non-conventional core transformers.
Testing and Compliance
- Requires rigorous short-circuit withstand testing or presentation of appropriate test certificates, referencing EN 60076-5.
- Outlines procedures for routine and dielectric tests, including lightning impulse testing as per EN 60076-3.
- Mandates that no-load loss measurements before and after short-circuit testing must not differ by more than 12%.
Rating, Tolerances, and Overhaul
- Addresses rating plate specifications, tolerances, capitalization of losses, and maintenance requirements in line with EN 50708-1-1.
Accessories and Fittings
- Refers to related and developing EN 50708 parts for detailed requirements on transformer accessories.
