FAA L830 Transformer Qualification

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
