Key Features of the Square D Energy Policy Act


Energy Efficient Dry-Type
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 declared the following information regarding
Transformers low voltage dry-type distribution transformers:

Smaller total area used, with 3 in. (76 mm) The efficiency of a low voltage dry-type distribution transformer
clearance from ventilated openings instead manufactured on or after January 1, 2007 shall be the Class I Efficiency
of 6 in. (152 mm), reducing the distance from Levels for distribution transformers specified in Table 4-2 of the Guide for
the wall to the front of the device by 3 in. Determining Energy Efficiency for Distribution Transformers, published by
(76 mm) the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA TP-12002).
Terminals are sized to handle lug kits that Schneider Electric introduced the first TP1-compliant low voltage dry-type
are coordinated with other Square D distribution transformers in December 1998. With the 2005 Energy Act,
products, increasing the ease of installation Schneider Electric is expanding its offering of TP-1-compliant products by
when used with other Square D equipment launching a new line of TP-1 qualified transformers.
Increased wiring compartments provide a NATURAL RESOURCES CANADA
bending radius for 250% primary cables and
multiple feeds on the secondary Natural Resources Canada declared the following information regarding
All units have 200% neutral to allow dry-type transformers and the energy performance test procedure:
customers to feed standard and non-linear Dry-Type Transformers
panels
The Office of Energy Efficiency (OEE) of Natural Resources Canada
220 C UL Listed insulation system (NRCan) has amended Canada's Energy Efficiency Regulations to require
Decreased weight for easier handling of units Canadian dealers to comply with minimum energy performance standards
for dry-type transformers imported or shipped inter-provincially for sale or
lease in Canada.
These regulations and subsequent amendments were published in the
Canadian Gazette Part 1 in May 2006.
Energy Performance Test Procedure
The Canadian Standards Association standard CAN/CSA-C802.2-00,
Minimum Efficiency Values for Dry-Type Transformers, is the test procedure
for transformers under regulation.
The test procedure is the same as that in the National Electrical
Manufacturers Association (NEMA TP-11996), Guide for Determining
Energy Efficiency for Distribution Transformers and associated document
TP-21998, Standard Test Method for Measuring the Energy Consumption
of Distribution Transformers, in the United States.

General Information

General Information

Saving Money by Saving Energy


Minimum efficiencies have been established for each size of transformer, and extensive design, testing,
and manufacturing time has been spent to ensure each transformer meets or exceeds these efficiencies.
Surveys show that typical loading of low voltage dry-type transformers on a 24-hour average basis is
only 35% of full-load rating. At such loading levels, Square D Lean Power Energy Efficient
Transformers manufactured by Schneider Electric provide the best combination of optimal
performance and superior quality.
The Square D Energy Efficient transformer offering includes all of the popular options including low
temperature rise, 115 C and 80 C, and aluminum or copper windings. These transformers are part of
a complete line of Lean Power products from Schneider Electric. Our power conservation,
management and monitoring products, systems, and services help to reduce energy consumption in
business and industry environments.

limit normally meets new installation requirements since the center tap is used for deriving a ground
and/or maintenance for 120 loads (small load of lights and outlets around the 240 distribution panel).
However, for retrofit applications where the utility company or customers upgrade their systems from a
240/120 high leg system to a 480Y/277 systemexisting 240/120 panels still need to be fed. In this
case, the 510% 120 capacity does not meet upgrade requirements.
Possible solutions in the past have been to:
Separate the 120 into a single-phase panel and the 240 into a three-phase panel.
Use two single-phase transformers in open Delta.
Have a special three-phase Wye to Delta transformer manufactured.

New Standard Offering

A three-phase Wye to Delta transformer is now a Square D standard product offering from
Schneider Electric.

Product Description:

480 Y Primary, 240 Delta with 120 center tap Secondary, 30 C phase shift between Primary and
Secondary
Sizing of transformer is based on 120 V requirements and 240 V requirements (not limited to 5%)

Use the following formula to size the units.

(2.5 x 120 single-phase loads) + balance 240 three-phase loads = kVA required
Example: 80 A of 120 V and 120 A of 240 balanced loads
80 x 120 = 9600 VA
120 x 240 x 1.73 = 49,824 VA
(2.5 x 9600) + 49,824 = 73,824 VA = 73.8 kVA
Use next standard size: 75 kVA

Using the Matrix Tables

(1) Determine 240 V balance three-phase load.


(240 x amps x 1.73)/1000 = kVA
Go to the next standard size (used in step (3))
(2) Determine 120 V single-phase load.
(120 x amps)/1000 = kVA
(3) Divide the answer from (2) by the standard kVA from (1) to obtain % 120 loading.
(4) Check the table above and below % of 120 loading. Verify the three-phase kVA will be met with standard kVA.
Using Table
(1) Size three-phase load: 49.9 kVA: Next higher size 75 kVA
(2) Size single-phase load: 9.6 kVA
(3) 9.6/75 = 12.8%
Check the 10% and 15% for three-phase capacity on 75 kVA:
10% >> 56.25 kVA for 240 balance three phase
15% >> 46.88 kVA for 240 balance three phase
75 kVA will work for the application using the tables.

Watchdog Low Temperature Rise Transformers

Watchdog transformers are designed to maximize energy efficiency and supplies the highest efficient levels for 24-hour loading
greater than 50 percent. Their extra long life expectancy using a 220 C insulation system is designed for full load operation at a
maximum temperature rise of 115 C or 80 C instead of 150 C. Continuous emergency overload capability is used for
15 percent on 115 C rise and 30 percent on 80 C rise. These transformers meet the efficiency standards in The Guide for
Determining Energy Efficiency for Distribution Transformers, published by the NEMA (NEMA TP12002).

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

What is an Energy Efficient Transformer?


Square D Type EE Energy Efficient Transformers are designed to meet NEMA Standard TP-1
efficiency standards. Lower core loss and emphasis on maximizing efficiency at typical average
loading levels of 35 percent are keys to reduced energy costs in low voltage dry-type Energy Efficient
Transformers.
How do the dimensions of Energy Efficient Transformers compare with standard General
Purpose Transformers?
Type EE transformers have the same dimensions as standard, 150 C rise General Purpose
Transformers.
What is the typical difference in price between Type EE Transformers and standard 150 C rise
General Purpose Transformers?
The price of Type EE Transformers can be as high as 35 percent more than standard transformers.
However, that increased initial cost can typically be paid back in energy cost savings in five to six years
based on $.075 per kWh utility rate. Therefore, the long-term cost of ownership for Type EE
Transformers is actually less than General Purpose Transformers.
Approximately how many watts can these transformers save?
At typical average load of 35 percent, the average loss in watts for Type EE Transformers is 30 percent
lower than standard, 150 C rise General Purpose Transformers. The improvement in efficiency at that
loading level is primarily a result of significantly reduced core loss. However, even at full load, the
savings in watts is typically 15 percent.
When should I specify a Type EE transformer over a standard one?
A Type EE transformer can be beneficial in any situation where energy savings is a concern. We all
have a stake in preserving world energy reserves. The opportunity to contribute towards reduced
energy consumption and to provide pay back in the long run for your customers are compelling
reasons to specify an Energy Efficient transformer.
What is the difference between Square D Energy Savings Watchdog Transformers and Energy
Efficiency Transformers.
Watchdog transformers have far lower full-load losses than either Type EE or General Purpose
Transformers. That advantage rapidly disappears as loading is reduced, typically reaching a trade
off at 50 75 percent load. Surveys show that average loading is 35 percent for low voltage
transformers over a typical 24-hour period. Use of Watchdog transformers at that loading level would
actually represent a loss penalty over standard transformers because of the inherently greater core
loss. Type EE transformers are designed to replace Watchdog transformers in the role of energy
savings at more typical levels of loading.
How does the presence of harmonics, such as in high-density office computer and network
load currents, affect energy efficiency?
Harmonics do lessen the efficiency of all transformers. Harmonics cause somewhat higher losses
in transformer windings (as much as 30 percent for most Square D Transformers). Type EE
transformers are no more susceptible than any other transformer to the effect of harmonics. Type EE
transformers provide the same percentage of loss reduction compared with General Purpose
Transformers, or even K-Factor rated transformers under the same load conditions. Because the
average loading of low voltage transformers is normally only 35 percent, a K-factor rating is not
necessary for Type EE transformers.
