SL Item Tolerance
3 Voltage ratio for further pairs To be agreed, but not less than the lesser of
the values in a) and b) above
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.

Transformers similar to a reference transformer can be identified by comparison using the following
non-exclusive list of critical features:
2. Same arrangement of main windings and geometrical sequence as the reference unit:
3. Same type of main windings for example, helical, disc, layer, pancake, as the reference unit.
5. Axial forces and relative winding stresses (ratio of actual stress to critical stress) at short-
circuit not exceeding 110% of those in the reference unit;
6. Same type of winding conductors, for example, aluminum, aluminum alloy, annealed or
hardened copper, metal foil, wire, flat conductor, continuously transposed conductors and
epoxy bonding, if used, as the reference unit;
9. Same conceptual design, for example dry-type, oil-immersed type, core type with concentric
windings, sandwich type, shell type, circular coils, non-circular coils as the reference unit
