Summarise this standard

IEC 60076-3:2013 specifies the insulation requirements and the corresponding insulation tests with reference to specific windings and their terminals. This International Standard applies to power transformers as defined by IEC 60076-1. It also recommends external clearances in air. It gives details of the applicable dielectric tests and minimum dielectric test levels. Recommended minimum external clearances in air between live parts and between live parts and earth are given for use when these clearances are not specified by the purchaser. For categories of power transformers and reactors which have their own IEC standards, this standard is applicable only to the extent in which it is specifically called up by cross reference in the other standards. This third edition of IEC 60076-3 cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2000, and constitutes a technical revision. The main changes from the previous edition are as follows:
- Three categories of transformer are clearly identified together with the relevant test requirements, these are summarised in Table 1.
- Switching impulse levels are defined for values of Um > 72,5 kV.
- The procedure for Induced voltage tests with PD has been revised to ensure adequate phase to phase test voltages.
- The AC withstand test has been redefined (LTAC instead of ACSD).
- Induced voltage tests are now based on Ur rather than Um. - New requirements for impulse waveshape (k factor) have been introduced.
- Tables of test levels have been merged and aligned with IEC 60071-1:2010.
- Additional test levels have been introduced for Um > 800 kV.
- A new Annex E has been introduced, which sets out the principles used in assigning the tests, test levels and clearances in air.

IEC 60076-3 specifies general, test or performance requirements for power transformers; the detail depends on the cited part. It is an international standard published by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

IEC 60076-3 specifies general, test or performance requirements for power transformers; the detail depends on the cited part. In practice it is applied by transformer manufacturers, utilities, laboratories and power-system engineers.

IEC 60076-3 is an international standard published by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and is applied internationally rather than in a single country.

IEC 60076-3 is International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)'s standard for power transformers, while IEC 62271-1 covers high-voltage switchgear and controlgear (International). IEC 60076-3 specifies general, test or performance requirements for power transformers; the detail depends on the cited part. IEC 62271-1 specifies ratings, design, testing or performance requirements for high-voltage switchgear and controlgear.
