IEEE 1653.1-2016

This standard covers design, manufacturing, and testing unique to the application of power rectifier transformers intended to operate in dc supplied transportation substation applications up to 1500 V dc nominal output.

At the present time there are no suitable standards governing all requirements for traction power rectifier transformers. This standard will provide requirements specific to traction power transformers supplying power to dc supplied transportation equipment.

New IEEE Standard - Active. Guidelines for establishing criteria for application, performance, interchangeability, tests, life cycle costs, and safety requirements of traction power rectifier transformers are established in this standard. Set forth are the electrical, mechanical and thermal design, manufacturing, and testing requirements for traction power rectifier transformers for dc electrification systems. Covered in this standard are liquid-immersed and dry-type transformers, including those with cast coil and epoxy resin encapsulated windings.
