PC57.12.80/D4 Introduction

February 2002

(This introduction is not part of IEEE C57.12.80, Standard Terminology for Power and Distribution Transformers) This revision of ANSI/IEEE C57.12.80 incorporates a substantial number of changes since the last major revision in 1978. In addition to providing many new terms, some of the more significant changes include: a) The terms and their definitions are now listed in alphabetical order. b) Cross-references are made to certain terms that appear in the International Electrotechnical Commission Multilingual Dictionary of Electricity, Electronics and Telecommunications. These terms can be identified when "(IEC)" follows the term. c) Numerous cross-references have been added to related terms in the standard. These appear following the definition and are denoted by See also, Syn, See, and Contrast d) Obsolete cooling class designations (OA, OA/FA, etc.) have been so designated and the corresponding new terms (ONAN, ONAN/ONAF, etc.) have been added. e) More precise definitions have replaced some previous definitions and miscellaneous corrections have been made.
