Transformer nameplates contain several standard items of information and other optional information.
Transformer nameplate must specify the following parameters:
• Name of manufacturer
• Serial number
• year of manufacture
• Number of phases
• kVA or MVA rating
• Frequency
• Voltage ratings.
• Tap voltages.
• Connection diagram.
• Cooling class
• Rated temperature in °C
• Polarity (for Single Phase Transformers)
• Phasor or vector diagram (For Polyphase or Three Phase Transformers)
• % impedance.
• Approximate mass or weight of the transformer
• Type of insulating liquid.
• Conductor material of each winding.
• Oil volume (of each transformer Container/Compartment)
• Instruction for Installation and Operation
Three Phase:
4160 ─ 440Y / 260: A 4160V delta connected winding, and a separate 440V wye connected
winding an available neutral connection. The voltage of the delta winding is always given first.
BIL: The Basic Impulse Level or BIL of a transformer is a method of expressing the transient
voltage stress that the insulation of transformer will tolerate without damage.
