IS 2026 : Part 16 : 2023/IEEE/IEC 60076-16 : 2018 Power Transformers - Part 16 Transformers for Wind Turbine Applications
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 16) (First Revision) which is identical to IEEE/IEC 60076-16 : 2018 'Power transformers - Part 16: Transformers for wind turbine applications' issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Transformers Sectional Committee and approval of the Electrotechnical Division Council.
This revision has been undertaken to align with the latest version of IEC 60076-16 : 2018. The main changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:
a) Relationship between transformer rated power and the output current from the associated generator is introduced;
b) Thermal correction of the effective cooling medium has been introduced; and
c) Testing regime has been strengthened to ensure transformers are suitable for the harsh electrical environment to which they are subjected.
The text of IEC standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appears referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
