CSA C301.2-06:2017 pdf download.Three-phase submersible distribution transformers
1.1 CSA C301.2-06 covers the features of three-phase submersible transformers rated 75 to 3000 kV●A.
Note: For details not covered herein, reference should be made to CSA C2.1.
1.2 This Standard applies only to three- phase distribution transformer units intended for use in a ventilated vault or enclosure below grade level, with all terminations and accessories cover mounted, or nearly so, for operation above grade. It does not apply to
(a) directly buried transformers in contact with the earth;
(b) permanently submerged transformers; or
(C) network-type transformers.
1.3 The equipment covered by this Standard is intended primarily for operation by electrical utilities on effectively grounded underground distribution systems having high voltages, as shown in Table 1.
Note: The operation of transformers complying with this Standard by other than an electric utility may be subject to additional requirements by the electrical inspection authority having jurisdiction.
1.4 The equipment covered by this Standard typically has two high-voltage bushings for each phase designed for circuit loop feed within the transformer tank. High-voltage switching and fuse protection normally connected between this internal loop feed element and the transformer high-voltage winding is not covered by this Standard and is specified by the purchaser.
1.5 In CSA Standards, "shall" is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; "should" is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; "may" is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard; and "can" is used to express possibility or capability. Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material. Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements. Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (non-mandatory) to define their application.
4.3.1 The complete transformer assembly shall be of sealed construction and shall remain effectively sealed for a top oil temperature range of -40 °C to 105 °C. Welded covers shall be designed so that the grinding operations to remove the cover will not cause damage to the tank or cover, thereby preventing resealing. In addition, all covers shall be provided with a gasketed handhole a minimum of 200 mm in diameter. Bolted covers, if provided, shall be bonded to the tank wall with an internal flexible copper connection accessible from the handhole. Similarly, the handhole cover shall also be internally bonded to the tank cover.CSA C301.2-06 pdf download.
