IEEE C57.12.37-2006

This standard provides a basis for electronic reporting of transformer test data on liquid immersed distribution transformers, specifically, those defined in the ANSI C57.12.2X standards series. This standard defines the standard set of test data to be reported and the format in which it is to be reported when electronic reporting of test data is specified. In addition, it defines an extended set of data for those users who have a need for data. This revision will modify the Title of the Standard to specifically designate it as being for 'Distribution' Transformers. The omission of 'Distribution" in the title could cause confusion for the user. While the Scope in the current Standard makes this clear, the title is not as specific as the Scope.

The purpose of this standard is to define standard methods of reporting and communicating transformer test data in order to allow users and producers to design computer based systems for preparing, communicating, and storing test data. The standard includes test data content, test data format, and test data communications methods. This review for revision will address new technology and related changes in data communication and storage means. This revision will address and investigate the inclusion of various data items which were considered for, but not included in, the current standard. Also, this revision will address the possibility of expanding the list of data elements to include additional data items of interest to users doing Power Quality and Thermal Evaluation work. Changes in currently used computer software will allow consideration of other possible data formats.

Revision Standard - Superseded. This standard is divided into six clauses. Clause 1 provides the scope and purpose of this standard. Clause 2 lists references to other standards that are useful in applying this standard. Clause 3 provides definitions that are either not found in other standards, or have been modified for use with this standard. Clause 4 provides a listing of the data elements in the standard data set and the additional data elements included with the extended data set. Clause 5 gives the specifics of the two test data file formats. Clause 6 addresses the methods of file transfer.
