22、developed to provide a test procedure for evaluating the thermal endurance of insulationsystems for dry-type specialty and general-purpose transformers covered by NEMA ST 1-1988 and byNEMA ST 20-1992. Generally these dry-type transformers are used with the primary windings connected tosecondary dist
23、ribution circuits of 600 V nominal and below to supply electric power to lighting systems,heating systems, signaling systems, machine tool controls, industrial controls, and other power loads incommercial, institutional, and industrial applications.The IEEE charged its technical committees with the
24、responsibility for developing test procedures for thethermal evaluation and classification of insulation systems used in electrical equipment. These are to be ingeneral accord with IEEE Std 1-1986. The principal objective is to enable the performance of new and oldinsulation systems to be compared d
25、irectly in a practical way and in a reasonable time, and to provide asound basis for introducing new insulation systems into service.Experience has shown that the thermal life characteristics of composite insulation systems cannot be reliablyinferred solely from information concerning component mate
26、rials. To assure satisfactory service life,insulation specifications need to be supported by service experience or life tests. Accelerated life tests arebeing used increasingly to evaluate the many new synthetic insulating materials that are available, thusshortening the period of service experience
27、 required before they can be used with confidence. Tests oncomplete insulation systems, representative of each type of equipment, are necessary to confirm the perfor-mance of materials for their specific functions in the equipment.At the time this standard was completed, the Insulation Requirements

38、rd Test Procedure for Evaluation of Systems of Insulation for Dry-Type Specialty and General-Purpose Transformers1. OverviewThis standard provides guidelines for preparing samples, conducting test, and analyzing results of testprocedures performed to evaluate insulation systems designed for dry-type
39、 specialty and general-purposetransformers. The information in this standard is presented in three principal sections:a)Test specimens.Describes the types of test specimens that are suitable for use in insulation systemthermal evaluations.b)Test procedures.Recommends a basic test cycle that is suita
40、ble for thermally evaluating insulationsystems. The test cycle consists of a series of exposures to heat, vibration, thermal shock, moisture,and voltage representing the cumulative effects of long service under accelerated conditions.Information is included for selecting test conditions based on tra
41、nsformer application.c)Interpretation of data.Provides guidelines for establishing the criteria of failure and methods foranalyzing and interpreting test results.Some transformers may have special requirements other than those included in this standard. In these cases,special exposures or tests shou
42、ld be added to the test cycle. It is all-important that when candidate andreference insulation systems are compared, test specimens of both systems shall be subjected to precisely thesame test cycle.1.1 ScopeThe intent of this standard is to establish a uniform method by which the thermal endurance
43、of electricalinsulation systems for dry-type specialty and general-purpose transformers can be compared. Theseinsulation systems are intended for use in the types of transformers described in NEMA ST 1-19881andNEMA ST 20-1992. In general, these dry-type transformers are used with the primary winding
44、s connectedto secondary distribution circuits of 600 V nominal and below.1Information on references can be found in Clause 2.IEEEStd 259-1999 IEEE STANDARD TEST PROCEDURE FOR EVALUATION OF SYSTEMS OF INSULATION2Copyright 1999 IEEE. All rights reserved.Thermal degradation generally is one of the prin
45、cipal factors affecting the function of most insulatingmaterials. It is the principal environmental factor in this standard. Other environmental factors such asvibration, thermal shock, and moisture are included to simulate operating conditions. These factors havebeen chosen in such a way as to deve
46、lop and promptly disclose any significant weakness during thetemperature aging of an insulation system.This standard provides a statistical method for establishing a life-temperature relationship for an insulationsystem. This life-temperature relationship is relative. To have any significance, it mu
47、st be supported byadequate field service data or it must be compared to similar life test data for insulation systems with knownfield-service reliability.2.
