FOREWORD
The standards appearing in this publication have been developed by the Transfonner Section and
have been approved for publication by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association. They are
used by the electrical industry to promote production economies and to assist users in the proper selec-
tion of transformers.
The Transformer Section is working actively with the American National Standards Committee,
C57, on Transfonners, Regulators and Reactors, in the development, correlation and maintenance of na-
tional standards for transfonners. This Committee operates under the procedures of the American Na-
tional Standards Institute (ANSI).
It is the policy of the NEMA Transformer Section to remove material from the NEMA Standards
Publication as it is adopted and published in the American National Standard C57 series. The NEMA
Standards Publication for Transformers, Regulators and Reactors references these and other American
National Standards applying to transfonners, and is intended to supplement, without duplication, the
American National Standards.
The NEMA Standards Publication for Transformers, Regulators and Reactors contains provision for
the following:
a. American National Standards adopted by reference and applicable exceptions approved by

NEMA, if any.
b. NEMA Official Standards Proposals. These are official drafts of proposed standards devel-
oped within NEMA or in cooperation with other interested organizations, for consideration
by ANSI. They have a maximum life of five years, during which time they may be approved
as American National Standards or adopted as NEMA Standards, or rescinded.
c. Manufacturing Standards. These are NEMA Standards which are primarily of interest to the
manufacturers of transformers and which are not yet included in an American National
Standard.
d. Standards Which Are Controversial. These are NEMA Standards, on which there is a differ-
ence of opinion within Committee C57. The NEMA version will be included in the NEMA
Standards Publication until such time as the differences between ANSI and NEMA are re-
solved.
NEMA Standards Publications are subject to periodic review and take into consideration user input.
They are being revised constantly to meet changing economic conditions and technical progress. Users
should secure latest editions. Proposed or recommended revisions should be submitted to:

SCOPE
This publication provides a list of all ANSI C57 Standards that have been approved by NEMA. In ad-
dition it includes certain NEMA Standard test methods, test codes, properties, etc., of liquid-immersed
transformers, regulators, and reactors that are not American National Standards.
