What is BS EN IEC 60076‑22‑1‒Transformer protective device about?
BS EN IEC 60076‑22‑1 is the first part of a multi-series standard. This part informs about the protective accessories related to the safety of transformers and reactors.
BS EN IEC 60076‑22‑1 explains power transformer and reactor fittings by specifying the fixing dimensions, mechanical and performance requirements for transformers, and guides about the protective devices mounted on liquid-immersed power transformers with or without a conservator for indoor or outdoor installation.
Who is BS EN IEC 60076‑22‑1‒Transformer protective devices for?
BS EN IEC 60076‑22‑1 on transformer protective devices is for:
- Transformer manufacturers
- Transformer test conductors
- Transformer accessories manufacturers
- Relay manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN IEC 60076‑22‑1‒Transformer protective devices?
Transformer protective devices are so reliable in case of failures take place and help in determining and preventing further serious damages.
BS EN IEC 60076‑22‑1 on the transformer protective devices allows you to achieve the end goal of transformer protection, to detect internal faults in the transformer with a high degree of sensitivity, and to be immune to faults external to the transformer simultaneously.
If you are a manufacturer of transformers, transformer protective devices, or reactors, the standard BS EN IEC 60076‑22‑1 covers all accessories related to the safety of transformers or reactors, having a function of signalization of abnormal operating conditions. It outlines the operation requirements specific to each accessory. In some cases, the preferred dimensions are relevant for interchangeability, and the type and routine tests to be performed.
