What is BS EN 50708-1-2 about?
BS EN 50708-1-2 is part one and two of a multi-series standard. BS EN 50708-1-2 defines the rules for assessment of energy performance of power transformers. It talks about the additional requirements needed for a transformer as per European standards.
BS EN 50708-1-2 applies to all power transformers in the scope of TC 14.
NOTE 1: BS EN 50708-1-2 contains particular requirements for specific transformers or transformer applications, which are based on the requirements of the general EN 50708-1-1:2020.
NOTE 2: BS EN 50708-1-2 should be considered in conjunction with the requirements of the general parts.
Who is BS EN 50708-1-2 for?
BS EN 50708-1-2 on assessment of energy performance of power transformers is for:
- Power transformer manufacturers
- Suppliers and dealers of power transformer
- Importers of power transformer
Why should you use BS EN 50708-1-2?
Power transformers having similar ratings can be suitable for operating in parallel. They are electrically and mechanically identical with particular reference to impedance voltage, vector reference, etc. Hence, it is very important that they are made according to a particular standard.
BS EN 50708-1-2 gives you information about technical specifications, documentation, and all the additional requirements that are needed so that you can manufacture power transformers in compliance with European standards.
BS EN 50708-1-2 defines the rules for the assessment of energy performance, to be assessed by any interested users such as manufacturers, suppliers and importers etc. to provide a means of demonstrating the product conformity to the Commission Regulation with regard to small, medium and large power transformers
