Page 29 of 43
Power Transformer
NOTE For certain auto-transformers and booster transformers the smallness of their
impedance justifies more liberal tolerance. Transformers having large tapping ranges,
particularly if the range is asymmetrical, may also require special consideration. On the
other hand, for example, when a transformer is to be combined with previously existing units,
it may be justified to specify and agree on narrower impedance tolerances. Matters of special
tolerances shall be brought to attention at the tender stage, and revised tolerances agreed
upon between manufacturer and purchaser.
NOTE - 'Declared value' should be understood as meaning the value declared by the
manufacturer.
