Scope National Electrical Installation Standards (NEIS) are designed to improve communication among specifiers, purchasers, and supplie

13、rs of electrical construction services. They define a minimum baseline of quality and workmanship for installing electrical products and systems. NEIS are intended to be referenced in contract documents for electrical construction projects. The following language is recommended: Dry-type transformer

14、s should be installed and maintained in accordance with NECA 409-2015, Standard for Installing and Maintaining Dry- Type Transformers (ANSI). Use of NEIS is voluntary, and the National Electrical Contractors Association assumes no obligation or liability to users of this publication. Existence of a

15、standard shall not preclude any member or non- member of NECA from specifying or using alternate construction methods permitted by applicable regulations. This publication is intended to comply with the edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in effect at the time of publication. Because they

16、are quality standards, NEIS may in some instances go beyond the minimum safety requirements of the NEC. It is the responsibility of users of this publication to comply with applicable federal, state, and local electrical codes when installing electrical products and systems. Installers should also f

17、ollow all manufacturers installation instructions and ensure conformity to electrical ratings marked on such equipment. Suggestions for revisions and improvements to this standard are welcome. They should be addressed to: NECA Standards & Safety 3 Bethesda Metro Center, Suite 1100 Bethesda, MD 20814

Scopen 2 NECA 409 Standard for Installing and Maintaining Dry-Type Transformers adopted into law, are those that identify actions that a

30、re specifically required or prohibited and are characterized by the use of the terms must or must not, shall or shall not, or by the use of positive phrasing of mandatory requirements. Examples of mandatory requirements may equally take the form of, “equipment must be protected,” “equipment shall be

31、 protected,” or “protect equipment,” with the latter interpreted (understood) as “(it is necessary to) protect equipment” Permissive Requirements. Permissive requirements of manufacturer instructions, or of Codes or other mandatory Standards that may or not be adopted into law, are those that identi

32、fy actions that that are allowed but not required, are normally used to describe options or alternative means and methods, and are characterized in this Standard by the use of the terms may or may not, or are permitted or are not required. Quality and Performance Recommendations. Quality and perform

33、ance recommendations identity actions that are recommended or not recommended to improve the overall quality or performance of the installation and are characterized by the use of the term should or should not. Explanatory Material. Explanatory material, such as references to other Codes, Standards,

34、 or documents, references to related sections of this Standard, information related to another Code, Standard, or document, and supplemental application and design information and data, is included throughout this Standard to expand the understanding of mandatory requirements, permissive requirement

35、s, and quality and performance recommendations. Such explanatory material is included for information only, and is identified by the use of the term “Note,” or by the use of italicized text. Informative Annexes. Non-mandatory information, other reference standards or documents relative to the applic

36、ation and use of materials, equipment, and systems covered by this Standard are provided in informative annexes.

38、le for service without additional protection from the weather. Transformer A device consisting of 2 or more coils of insulated wire that transfers alternating current by electromagnetic induction from 1 coil to another to change the original voltage or current value. Ventilated Transformer A transfo

39、rmer constructed to provide ambient air circulation through its enclosure to cool the transformer core and windings. Weathershields Transformer accessories that allow indoor transformers to be installed outdoors. 2. Definitionsn 4 1. Scope Before performing installation, cleaning, inspections, testi

40、ng, maintenance, or repairs, electrically isolate conductors and equipment in accordance with established written procedures. All work and actions must conform to the requirements of NFPA 70E, Electrical Safety in the Workplace. The process of de-energizing is considered “live” work and can result i

41、n an arc flash due to equipment failure. When de-energizing conductors and equipment, follow safety procedures for working on or near live circuits. Failure to observe these precautions may result in severe personal injury or death. 3.1 General For electrical equipment to work properly, it must be h

42、andled carefully and installed, operated, and maintained correctly. Neglecting fundamental installation and maintenance requirements may lead to personal injury or death, and damage to conductors, electrical equipment, and other property. Consider all circuits and ungrounded and grounded metal parts

43、 of equipment and devices to be energized at the highest voltage to which they are exposed unless they are de-energized, tested, and locked out of operation. Equipment shall be rendered safe by following a lock out/tag out procedure that meets OSHA requirements as outlined in NFPA 70E. Do not work o

44、n energized conductors or equipment. Electrically isolate conductors and equipment in accordance with established procedures and manufacturer instructions. Use care in opening and closing doors to energized equipment. Conductors and terminations may be exposed and within the reach of openings. Do no

45、t enter equipment enclosures when components are energized. Do not remove access covers, doors, or panels when equipment is energized. Do not expose conductors, connections, or terminations when components are energized. Using established safety procedures, guard energized conductors and equipment i

46、n close proximity to the work. Electrical equipment may have multiple sources of power, capacitors with stored electric charge, and control circuits from separate sources. Expect hazardous voltages in all interconnecting components and conductors. 3.2 Safe Work Practices Perform preliminary inspecti

47、ons and tests prior to beginning work to determine existing conditions. Check existing conditions against available record documents. Visually verify all cable connections to equipment. Confirm that supply and load cables are connected properly. Keep in mind that transposed cables may be connected t

48、o different terminals than expected. Resolve discrepancies between installed conditions and electrical drawings. Have drawings corrected, if required. Provide warning labels on equipment, cables, and other equipment where necessary to indicate unexpected and potentially hazardous conditions. Maintai

49、n as much distance as practical from equipment and devices that may arc during operation or handling, but not less than the arc flash protection boundary specified in NFPA 70E. 3. Safety Procedures5 n Standard for Installing and Maintaining Dry-Type Transformers NECA 409 Use insulated tools when working on or around energized equipment. Use only properly rated tools for the energy present. Maintain tool inventories to ensure that all tools are accounted for prior to energizing equipment.
