What is BS IEC/IEEE 60214‑2 on TAP-changers application guidelines about?
BS IEC/IEEE 60214‑2 is the second part of an international multi-series standard that covers guidelines for tap-changers.
BS IEC/IEEE 60214‑2 gives technical specifications such as terms, definitions, abbreviated terms, application of tap-changers for transformers and reactors, types of tap-changers, on-load tap-changers, etc. These application guidelines cover on-load tap-changers (resistor and reactor types) and de-energized tap-changers.
Who is BS IEC/IEEE 60214‑2 on TAP-changers application guidelines for?
BS IEC/IEEE 60214‑2 on TAP-changers application guidelines is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of tap changers and transformer
- Dealers and distributors of tap changers and transformer
- Designers of tap changers and transformer
- Test /service providers for tap changers and transformer
Why should you use BS IEC/IEEE 60214‑2 on TAP-changers application guidelines?
Tap changers are very helpful for varying the secondary output voltage by changing the turn ratio of the primary or secondary winding according to the requirement.
BS IEC/IEEE 60214‑2 recommends guidelines for technical specifications of tap-changers for designing and manufacturing them in accordance with international standards.
BS IEC/IEEE 60214‑2 assists you in understanding the various types of tap-changers and their associated equipment available.
BS IEC/IEEE 60214‑2 could help you in the selection of tap-changers, that are designed to use in association with the tapped windings of transformers or reactors.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS IEC/IEEE 60214‑2:2019 supersedes BS IEC/IEEE 60214‑2:2004, which is withdrawn. BS IEC/IEEE 60214‑2:2019 includes the following changes:
- The title has been updated from "Application guide" to "Application guidelines"; tap-changers for gas-filled transformers have been added; description of typical circuits for regulation has been added
- Description of basic arrangements of tapped windings with on-load tap-changers and deenergized tap-changers has been added; types of tap-changers are explained in more detail (e. g. vacuum type on-load tap-changer) and new types have been added (e. g. step-voltage regulator, advance retard switch (ARS), on-load tap-changers for distribution transformers)
- Selection of tap-changers (on-load and de-energized) are described in more detail with respect to applications and parameters, which have to be considered (e. g. current wave shapes, operating pressure, temperature conditions, overloading conditions, continuous consecutive operations)
- Storage and installation has been considered; field service, including commissioning, operation, maintenance, and monitoring, has been considered; safety aspects have been updated
