Print this page IEEE Std C57.12.34, "IEEE Standard for Requirements for Pad-Mounted Transformer"
Course Outline
This 5-hour course covers certain electrical, dimensional, and mechanical characteristics and takes into consideration certain safety features of three-phase, 60 Hz, liquid-filled, self-cooled, pad-mounted, compartment-type distribution transformers.
The course materials are based entirely on IEEE Std. C57.12.34-2015 IEEE Standard for Requirements Pad-Mounted, Compartmental-Type, Self-Cooled, Three-Phase Distribution Transformers, 10 MVA and Smaller; High Voltage, 34.5 kV Nominal System Voltage and Below; Low Voltage, 15 kV Nominal System Voltage and Below. It will be necessary for the student to obtain a copy of IEEE Std. C57.12.34-2015. This is a very useful resource that assists individuals, organizations, and suppliers involved in the specification, design, installation, and maintenance of three-phase, 60 Hz, liquid-filled, self-cooled, pad-mounted, compartment-type distribution transformers. The 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.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.
