Medium power transformers 50 Hz, with highest voltage for equipment not exceeding 36 kV - Part 1: General requirements
This European Standard covers medium power transformers. ‘Medium power transformer’ means a
power transformer with a highest voltage for equipment higher than 1,1 kV, but not exceeding 36 kV
and a rated power equal to or higher than 5 kVA but lower than 40 MVA.
National practices may require the use of highest voltages for equipment up to (but not including)
52 kV, when the rated voltage is less than 36 kV (such as Um = 38,5 kV or Um = 40,5 kV). This is
considered to be an unusual case of a large power transformer, where the requirements are those
for a medium power transformer with Um = 36 kV.
NOTE 1 ‘Large power transformer’ means a power transformer with a highest voltage for equipment
exceeding 36 kV and a rated power equal or higher than 5 kVA, or a rated power equal to or higher than
40 MVA regardless of the highest voltage for equipment. Large power transformers are in the scope of
EN 50629.
NOTE 2 Transformers with tap changer (DETC or OLTC) are included in this European Standard even if
they have separate tapping winding.
The object of this European Standard is to set up requirements related to electrical characteristics
and design of medium power transformers.
The following transformers are excluded from this European Standard:
- instrument transformers, specifically designed to supply measuring instruments, meters,
relays and other similar apparatus;
- transformers with low-voltage windings specifically designed for use with rectifiers to
provide a DC supply;
- transformers specifically designed to be directly connected to a furnace;
- transformers specifically designed for offshore applications and floating offshore
applications;
- transformers specially designed for emergency installations;
- transformers and auto-transformers specifically designed for railway feeding systems;
- earthing or grounding transformers, this is, three-phase transformers intended to provide a
neutral point for system grounding purposes;
- traction transformers mounted on rolling stock, this is, transformers connected to an AC or
DC contact line, directly or through a converter, used in fixed installations of railway
applications;
- starting transformers, specifically designed for starting three-phase induction motors so as
to eliminate supply voltage dips;
- testing transformers, specifically designed to be used in a circuit to produce a specific
voltage or current for the purpose of testing electrical equipment;
- welding transformers, specifically designed for use in arc welding equipment or resistance
welding equipment;
- transformers specifically designed for explosion-proof and underground mining applications,
- transformers specifically designed for deep water (submerged) applications;
- medium Voltage (MV) to Medium Voltage (MV) interface transformers up to 5 MVA;
- large power transformers where it is demonstrated that for a particular application,
technically feasible alternatives are not available to meet the minimum efficiency
requirements set out by the commission regulation (EU) No 548/2014;
- large power transformers which are like for like replacements in the same physical
location/installation for existing large power transformers, where this replacement cannot be
achieved without entailing disproportionate costs associated to their transportation and/or
installation.
Mittelleistungstransformatoren 50 Hz, mit einer höchsten Spannung für Betriebsmittel nicht über 36 kV - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen

Močnostni transformatorji srednje moči 50 Hz z najvišjo napetostjo naprave do 36 kV - 1. del: Splošne zahteve
Ta evropski standard zajema srednje transformatorje. »Srednji transformator« označuje transformator z najvišjo napetostjo za opremo, ki je višja od 1,1 kV, vendar ne presega 36 kV, in z nazivno močjo, enako ali višjo od 5 kVA, ki pa ne presega 40 MVA. Nacionalne prakse morda zahtevajo uporabo najvišjih napetosti za opremo do (toda ne vključno z) 52 kV, ko je nazivna napetost nižja od 36 kV (kot na primer Um = 38,5 kV ali Um = 40,5 kV). Gre za nenavaden primer velikonapetostnega transformatorja z zahtevami za srednjenapetostni transformator z Um = 36 kV.
OPOMBA 1 »Veliki transformator« označuje transformator z najvišjo napetostjo za opremo, ki je višja od 36 kV in nazivno močjo, enako ali višjo od 5 kVA, ali nazivno močjo, enako ali višjo od 40 MVA, ne glede na najvišjo napetost za opremo. Veliki transformatorji spadajo v področje uporabe standarda EN 50629.
OPOMBA 2 Transformatorji z odcepnim preklopnikom (DETC ali OLTC) so vključeni v ta evropski standard, čeprav imajo ločeno navitje odcepa.
Cilj tega evropskega standarda je določanje zahtev v zvezi z električnimi značilnostmi in izdelavo srednjih transformatorjev. Ta evropski standard ne zajema naslednjih transformatorjev:
– instrumentnih transformatorjev, ki so posebej izdelani za napajanje merilnih instrumentov, metrov, relejev in drugih podobnih aparatov;
– transformatorjev z nizkonapetostnimi navitji, ki so posebej izdelani za uporabo z usmerniki za izmenično napajanje;

– transformatorjev, ki so posebej izdelani za uporabo na morju in na plavajočih objektih;
– transformatorjev, ki so posebej izdelani za zasilne naprave;
– transformatorjev in avtotransformatorjev, ki so posebej izdelani za sisteme za napajanje železniških naprav;

– zagonskih transformatorjev, ki so posebej izdelani za zagon trifaznih asihronskih motorjev z namenom preprečevanja napetostnih upadov;
– preskusnih transformatorjev, ki so posebej izdelani za uporabo v tokokrogu z namenom proizvajanja določene napetosti ali toka za preskušanje električne opreme;
– varilnih transformatorjev, ki so posebej izdelani za uporabo v opremi za obločno ali uporovno varjenje;
– transformatorjev, ki so posebej izdelani za uporabo v protieksplozijskem ali podzemnem okolju;
– transformatorjev, ki so posebej izdelani za uporabo v globoki vodi (podvodna uporaba);
– srednjenapetostnih (MV) do srednjenapetostnih (MV) vmesniških transformatorjev do 5 MVA;
– velikih transformatorjev, kjer je prikazano, da za določeno uporabo tehnično možne alternative, ki bi dosegle minimalne zahteve glede učinkovitosti, ki jih določa uredba komisije (EU) št. 548/2014:
– velikih transformatorjev, ki so možne zamenjave za obstoječe velike transformatorje v istih fizičnih lokacijah/napravah, v primeru da zamenjava slednjih ni mogoča brez nesorazmernih stroškov, ki bi nastali zaradi njihovega prevoza in/ali namestitve.
