IEC 60076-5:2006 PDF Download

IEC 60076-5:2006 is a standard that focuses on the ability of power transformers to endure the effects of overcurrents caused by external short circuits. The standard provides guidelines on the calculations needed to determine if a power transformer can withstand these overcurrents without sustaining damage. It also specifies the special tests and theoretical evaluation methods used to assess the transformer's ability to withstand the associated dynamic effects.

The standard aims to ensure that power transformers are designed and built to withstand the potentially damaging effects of short circuits. By following the procedures outlined in the standard, manufacturers can assess the transformer's thermal ability to handle overcurrents and evaluate its ability to endure the relevant dynamic effects.
