NOTE 1 Letters refer to the temperature classifications given in IEC 60085.
NOTE 2 Temperature rise measured in accordance with Clause 23.
11.2 Reduced temperature rises for transformers designed for high cooling air
temperatures or special air cooling conditions
When the transformer is designed for service where the temperature of the cooling air
exceeds one of the maximum values specified in 4.2.3, the temperature rise limits shall be
reduced by the same amount as the excess. The values shall be rounded to the nearest whole
number of K.
Any site conditions that may either impose restrictions on the cooling air or produce high
ambient air temperatures should be stated by the purchaser.
11.3 High altitude temperature rise correction
Unless otherwise agreed upon between the supplier and the purchaser, for transformers
designed for operation at an altitude greater than 1 000 m but tested at normal altitudes, the
limits of temperature rise given in Table 2 shall be reduced by the following amounts for each
500 m by which the intended working altitude exceeds 1 000 m:
natural-air-cooled transformers: 2,5 %;
forced-air-cooled transformers: 5 %.
A corresponding reverse correction may be applied in cases where the altitude of the test
room is above 1 000 m and the altitude of the installation site is below 1 000 m.
Any altitude correction shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of K.
12 Insulation levels
12.1 General
When transformers are intended for general power distribution in public or industrial systems,
the insulation levels shall be those given in Table 3, list 1 or list 2.
