38、BUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 3 Glossary 3.1 For the purpose of this standard, the following denitions apply. 3.2 COMPOUND-FILLED TRANSFORMER A transformer in which the windings are enclosed with an insulating uid that becomes solid, or remains plastic, at intended operating temperatures. 3.3 EN

39、CAPSULATED COIL A coil that is enclosed with an insulating uid that becomes solid. 3.4 EXPOSED CORE TRANSFORMER A transformer with exposed core lamination. 3.5 NONVENTILATED DRY-TYPE TRANSFORMER A dry-type transformer other than of the compound-lled or exposed core-type that is constructed so as to

40、provide no intentional circulation of ambient air through the transformer and is intended to operate at normal ambient room air pressure. 3.6 VENTILATED DRY-TYPE TRANSFORMER A dry-type transformer that is constructed so that ambient air may circulate through the enclosure to cool the transformer cor

41、e and windings. 3.7 WINDING A continuous conductor made up of a number of turns magnetically coupled to a magnetic core, to which a voltage is either applied or induced. Two or more such conductors that are permanently factory connected together to form intermediate voltage taps, current taps, or th

42、e like are considered to be a single winding. The winding can consist of single or parallel-wound conductors. ALL TRANSFORMERS CONSTRUCTION 4 Mechanical Assembly 4.1 A transformer shall be formed and assembled so that it will have the strength and rigidity necessary to resist the abuses to which it

43、is likely to be subjected. A risk of re, electric shock, or injury to persons shall not result from a reduction of spacings, loosening or displacement of parts, or other serious defect due to total or partial collapse of the transformer. 5 Enclosure 5.1 In addition to the overall enclosure, the requ

44、irements in 5.2 5.15 apply to those portions of an enclosure surrounding a terminal or wiring compartment. 5.2 A sheet steel enclosure shall be formed from stock having a thickness of not less than 0.026 inch (0.66 mm) if uncoated or not less than 0.029 inch (0.74 mm) if zinc coated. Exception: Shee

45、t steel having a thickness of not less than 0.020 inch (0.51 mm) if uncoated or not less than 0.023 inch (0.58 mm) if zinc coated may be used for drawn end bells having a maximum width or length of 2-1/4 inches (57.2 mm) on the at portion and 1-1/2 inches (38.1 mm) at the base of the drawn portion.

47、ving a thickness of not less than 0.040 inch (1.02 mm). 5.4 The thickness of a sheet steel enclosure is determined by taking the numerical average of ve micrometer readings equally spaced across the full width of the sheet as rolled. 5.5 The thickness of an enclosure of nonferrous sheet metal shall

48、provide strength and rigidity not less than that of an enclosure of sheet steel as described in 5.2. 5.6 A cast iron enclosure shall not be less than 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) thick at any point and of greater thickness at reinforcing ribs and edges of doors or covers. 5.7 A cast iron enclosure shall not be
