American Approval of a n American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the re-
quirements for dueprocess, consensus, and other criteria for approval have been.met by
National the standardsdeveloper.
Standard Consensus is established when, in the judgmentof the A X 3 Eoard of StandardsReview,
substantial agreement has been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Sub-
stantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanim-
ity, Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered,and that a concerted
effort be madetoward their resolution.
The use ofAmerican National Standardsis completely voluntary: their existence does not
in any respect preclude anyone, whether he hasapproved the standards or not, from man-
ufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not con-
forming to thestandards.
The American National Standards Institute does notdevelop standards and will in no cir-
cumstances give an interpretation of anyAmerican National Standard.Moreover. no per-
son shall have the right or authority t o issue an interpretation of an American National
Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests for inter-
pretations should beaddressed to the secretariat or sponsor whosename appears on the
title page of thisstandard.
CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may berevised or withdrawn at
any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Instituterequire that
action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this standard. Purchasers
of American National Standards mayreceive current information on all standards by

Foreword (This Foreword is not p& of American National Standard (257.12.10-1988.)
American National Standard C57.12.10was first approved in 1958 and representedthe
It originally encompassed transformers
first product standard for power transformers.
501 through 10 O00 kVA with a maximum voltage of67 O00 volts. Successive revisions
gradually expanded the scope, and subsequently a companion standard,ANSI C57.12.30,
was addedfor power transformers with load-tap-changing equipment.
This standard is a revision and consolidation ofANSI C57.12.30-1977, Requirements for
Load-Tap-Changing Transformers230 O00 Volts and Below, 3750/4687 through60 OOO/
80 OOO/lOO O00 kVA, Three-Phase;ANSI C57.12.10-1977 and C57.12.10a-1978, Re-
quirements for Transformers 230 O00 Volts andBelow, 833/958 through 8333/10 417
kVA, Single-phase, and750/862 through 60 000/80 000/100 O00 kVA, Three-phase.
Some of the changes in this revision are the:
(1) Combining of ANSI C57.12.10-.1977 and C57.12.30-1977into s single document.
(2) Reorganizing ofthe data included in the two previous documents to eliminate
repetition of much almost-identical data. Construction features are now described only
once.
(3) Reorganizing to better recognize small three-phase power transformers (750-2500
kVA) with distribution insulationlevels (see Tables 8 and 9), and reduced construction
features (see Table 11, “Basic Standard” Construction Features, 750-2500 Distribution
BILs.)
It is anticipated that thissimpler, briefer section on construction will eventually makethe
conversion to primary use of metric system international dimensions simpler and easier.
Other changesin the 1988revision include numerouseditorial changes to update informa-
tion and references. A few nominal systemvoltages have been revised slightly to conform
to thevoltages of ANSI C84.1-1982, .and are coded to indicate those whichare recognized
in ANSI C84.1-1982, Voltage Ratingsfor Electric Power Equipment(60 Hz). Manual
taps have been changed to thevery commonly used two 2.5-percent taps above and two
2.5-percent taps below rated highvoltage. Paralleling systems for load-tap-changingtrans-
formers have been added as an “other” item. Recommended accuracyclassifications of
bushing current transformersfor relaying service have been added. The percent imped-
ance values of 60-150 BIL have been .added. The percent impedancevalues of 60-150
BIL transformers have been reduced. The standard connection for shipment of series/
multiple windings (when provided)was determined to be the “multiple” connection.
In addition to these changes, many minor updating items and changes intended to im-
prove format, organization, clarity, and brevityhave been introduced.
This standard is a voluntary consensus standard. Its useis mandatory only when required
by a duly constitutedlegal authority orwhen specified in a contractualrelationship.
To meet specialized needs and to allow innovation, specific changes are permissible
when mutually determined by the user and the producer, provided such changes do not
violate existing laws and are considered technically adequatefor the function intended.
When this document is used on a mandatory basis, the words “shall” and “must” indicate
mandatory requirements, and the words “should” and “may” refer to matters that are
recommended and permitted, respectively, but are not mandatory.
Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcomed. They should be sent
to

20037.

and information center for national, international, regional, and foreign standards.
ANSI is the sole source of all approved American National Standards. In addition,
the Institute is the U.S. source for all international standards and drafts of the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO), InternationalE lectrotechni-

American National Standards

The standard in this booklet is one of 8000 standards approved to date by
the American National Stqndards Institute.
The Standards Institute provides the machinery for creating voluntary stan-
dards. It serves to eliminate duplication of standards activities and to weld
conflicting standards into single, nationally acceptedstandardsunder the
designation "American National Standards."
Eachstgndardrepresentsgeneralagreementamongmaker,seller,anduser
groups as to the best current practice with regard to some specific problem.
Thus the completed standards cut across the whole fabric of production,
distribution, and consumption of goodsandservices. AmericanNational
Standards, by reason of Institute procedures, reflect a national consensus
of manufacturers, consumers, and scientific, technical, and professional orga-
nizations,andgovernmentalagencies.The completed standardsareused
widely by industry and commerce and often by municipal, state, and federal
governments.
The Standards Institute, under whose auspices this work is being done, is the
United States clearinghouse and coordinating body for voluntary standards
activity on the national level. It is a federation of trade associations, techni-
cal societies, professional groups,andconsumerorganizations.Some 1000
companies areaffiJiated with the Institute as company members.
The American National Standards Institute is the United States member of
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Interna-
tional Electrotechnical Commission (IEC); Through these channels U.S. stan-
dards interests make their positions felt on the international level. American
National Standards are onfile inthe libraries of thenational standards bodies
of more than60 countries.
