4.2.4 Temperature Rise. The temperature rises of the transformers shall be
determined by the resistance method and shall not exceed 55° C. when the
transformers are operated in air under each of the following conditions with
rated current flowing in the primary:
|
A. |
Rated Load |
|
B. |
Short Circuit |
|
C. |
Open Circuit |
The temperature test shall be conducted in accordance with the applicable
requirements of the American Standard Test Code for transformers. Tempera-
ture rise shall be computed from the following formula:
Temperature Rise |
(°C) |
= |
(234.5 + 0o) (R1 - Ro) |
Where |
0o |
= |
Temperature (°C) corresponding to
Cold Resistance |
|
Ro |
= |
Cold Resistance |
|
R1 |
= |
Hot Resistance |
