Converter transformers - Part 1: Transformers for industrial applications
Converter transformers - Part 1: Transformers for industrial applications
This Part of IEC 61378 deals with the specification, design and testing of power transformers and reactors which are intended for integration within semiconductor converter plants; it is not applicable to transformers designed for industrial or public distribution of a.c. power in general. The scope of this International Standard is limited to application of power converters of any power rating. Typical applications are: thyristor rectifiers for electrolysis; diode rectifiers for electrolysis; thyristor rectifiers for large drives; thyristor rectifiers for scrap melting furnaces, and diode rectifiers feeding inverters for variable speed drives. The standard also covers the regulating unit utilized in such application as step down regulating transformers or autotransformers. The valve winding highest voltage for equipment is limited to 36 kV. This standard is not applicable to transformers for HVDC power transmission. These are highvoltage transformers, and they are subjected to d.c. voltage tests. The standards for the complete converter plant (IEC 60146 series, or other publications dedicated to particular fields of application) may contain requirements of guarantees and tests (such as insulation and power loss) for the whole plant, including the converter transformer and possibly auxiliary transformers and reactor equipment. This does not relieve the application of the requirements of this standard concerning the guarantees and tests applicable to the converter transformer itself as a separate component before being assembled with the remainder of the converter plant. The guarantees, service and type tests defined in this standard apply equally to transformers supplied as part of an overall converter package, or to those transformers ordered separately but for use with converter equipment. Any supplementary guarantee or special verification has to be specifically agreed in the transformer contract. The converter transformers covered by this standard may be of the oil-immersed or dry-type design. Unless specific exceptions are stated in this standard, the transformers comply with IEC 60076 series for oil-immersed transformers, and with IEC 60076-11 for dry-type transformers.
Stromrichtertransformatoren - Teil 1: Transformatoren für industrielle Anwendungen
Transformateurs de conversion - Partie 1: Transformateurs pour applications industrielles
L'IEC 61378-1:2011 traite de la spécification, la conception et l'essai des transformateurs de puissance et des réacteurs qui sont destinés à l'intégration au sein des convertisseurs à semi-conducteurs, il n'est pas applicable aux transformateurs conçus pour la distribution industrielle ou publique de pouvoir a.c. en général.

Konvertorski transformatorji - 1. del: Transformatorji za industrijsko uporabo
Ta del IEC 61378 obravnava specifikacijo, projektiranje in preskušanje močnostnih transformatorjev in reaktorjev za vgradnjo v polprevodniško konvertorsko opremo; ne velja za transformatorje, projektirane za industrijsko ali javno distribucijo izmeničnega toka na splošno. Obseg tega mednarodnega standarda je omejen na uporabo močnostnih pretvornikov vseh nazivnih moči. Tipične uporabe so: tiristorski usmerniki za elektrolizo; diodni usmerniki za elektrolizo; tiristorski usmerniki za velike pogone; tiristorski usmerniki za peči za taljenje starega železa in diodni usmerniki, ki napajajo razsmernike za pogone s spremenljivimi hitrostmi. Standard zajema tudi regulacijsko enoto, ki se uporablja pri teh uporabah za uravnavanje transformatorjev ali avtotransformatorjev z zmanjševanjem napetosti. Najvišja napetost naprave ventilskega navitja je omejena na 36 kV. Ta standard ne velja za transformatorje za visokonapetostni enosmerni prenos toka. To so visokonapetostni transformatorji in zanje veljajo preskusi z enosmerno napetostjo. Standardi za popolno konvertorsko opremo (serija IEC 60146 ali druge objave za posamezna področja uporabe) lahko vsebujejo zahteve za jamstva in preskuse (kot so izolacija in izguba moči) za celotno opremo, vključno s konvertorskim transformatorjem in morebiti pomožnimi transformatorji in reaktorsko opremo. To ne razbremeni uporabe zahtev tega standarda v zvezi z jamstvi in preskusi, ki veljajo za sam konvertorski pretvornik kot ločeno komponento, preden se združi s preostalo konvertorsko opremo. Jamstva, preskusi delovanja in tipski preskusi v tem standardu veljajo enako za transformatorje, dobavljene kot del celotnega konvertorskega paketa, in za transformatorje, naročene ločeno, ki pa se uporabljajo s konvertorsko opremo. O dodatnih jamstvih ali posebnem preverjanju se je treba posebej dogovoriti v pogodbi o transformatorjih. Konvertorski transformatorji, ki jih zajema ta standard, so lahko oljni ali suhi. Razen če so v tem standardu navedene posebne izjeme, so transformatorji v skladu s serijo IEC 60076 za oljne transformatorje in z IEC 60076-11 za suhe transformatorje.

CONVERTER TRANSFORMERS –
Part 1: Transformers for industrial applications
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61378-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 14: Power
transformers.
