for GIC purposes. For rated voltage and rated frequency, the maximum core flux
density in the limbs and in the yokes shall not exceed 1.75 at nominal tap. The
maximum temperature rise of the core surface in contact with oil and cellulose
insulation above the average ambient temperature of 25°C should not exceed 80°C
for all possible rated in service conditions. The core surface temperature must be
limited to the temperature capability of the material in contact with the core using
average ambient specified. The material used in core cooling ducts, and between
the core and frames, and between the core and the tie plates shall have a
continuous temperature rating of 150°C minimum.
The core shall be manufactured of high permeability; non-ageing cold rolled grain

For the core clamping no bolts through the limbs and yokes shall be used. The limbs
should be fastened by non-metallic bands/belts. Non continuous steel straps or rods
used around the yokes must be insulated from the yokes to prevent shorts to the
core and circulating currents. The pressure of the yokes shall be adequate to
prevent movement of the lamination during shipping accelerations. All the return
limbs shall be vanished to improve the mechanical stability during shipment/
transportation.
The main magnetic core shall be directly grounded via a bushing on top of the cover
with a removable external ground connection. The core shall be bonded to the core
clamping structure at one point only, which is easily accessible, and protected to
allow testing after installation of the transformer. No core earthing connection shall

connections inserted between laminations which may be reduced to a cross-
sectional area of 20 mm², where they are clamped between the laminations. The
core earth grounding point shall be clearly marked with a permanent label. The
factory core insulation resistance value(s) shall be permanently marked at the core
earth grounding point together with “core earth must always be connected when
equipment is energized” and indicating the terminal identification.
Hotspot rise above ambient of metal parts in contact with oil shall not exceed 80°C
under the most extreme operating circumstance. Also, the most onerous
temperature of any part of the core and its supporting structure in contact with
insulation or other thermally non-conducting material should not exceed the safe
operating temperature of that material. Adequate safety margins should be included
when determining these criteria.
Where the core laminations are divided into sections by insulating barriers or cooling
ducts parallel to the plane of the laminations, tinned copper bridging strips shall be
inserted to maintain electrical continuity between sections.

revision of the NEMA TR1.
The base of the magnetic circuit (core and accessories) must be connected to earth

in the windings, the insulation on the points with maximum losses, and the oil rise in
the windings. If the designer is not able to determine the oil rise in the windings, an
added 5K will be made at the design review to allow for the difference between the

short circuit forces (inward/outward), the copper yield strength shall be at least 50%
higher than the calculated maximum radial stress for the highest stressed winding
package.

single unit. Each warning device must be composed of the required lumber of alarm
modules indicated in the list “Alarm Identification Text”.
The warning device will receive the alarm signal through normally open dry contacts
of the equipment to be signaled. When failure or damage occurs, the dry contact
representing it is closed, and the corresponding visual signal starts blinking in the
warning device panel. Once the alarm is recognized by an operator, the signal must
remain and it will only disappear when the reset button is manually operated. For the
purposes of this warning device system, each one of the alarm signals coming from
the tools, devices or accessories of the transformer will feed one signaling unit,
which must be clearly identified. For this, it must have the failure identification text or
the actuator symbol displayed on the visible front side, with an explanatory plate of
the symbols, made of a durable material (bakelite or similar), indelible engraved and
placed near the warning device panel. The warning device must be equipped with
the necessary devices to send major or minor alarm to the outside, whenever it
receives the corresponding individual alarms.
In the table below is a list of the texts that must be used for alarm and trip order
identification purposes. Said table must be considered only as a writing guide for
such texts and as a limitation of the lumber of necessary signaling.
