Draft IS 1180 (Part 2) : 2016
FOREWORD
This Indian Standard [IS 1180 (Part 2): 2016] was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards,
after the draft finalised by the Transformers Sectional Committee, had been approved by the
Electrotechnical Division Council.
IS 1180 (Part 1): 2014 addresses specification of Mineral Oil immersed, Outdoor type distribution
Transformers up to 2500 kVA 33 kV.
A note under cl. 9.1 of the said standard allowed use of other insulating liquids namely natural
ester, synthetic organic organic ester subject to agreement between the user and the supplier.
As mineral oil is semibiodegradable, toxic in nature and is more prone to fire hazards having a
low fire point of the order of 150 °C, use of ester Liquids , natural vegetable based esters as well
as synthetic organic organic esters with fire point above 300 °C in lieu of mineral oil in several
countries has increased due to fire safety and environmental considerations.
A need was felt to have a separate standard on Distribution transformers filled with ester liquids
and as decided in 15th Sectional Committee meeting of ET 16 on 19th Aug‟14, this standard IS
1180 (Part 2) has been formulated.
All other specifications and parameters of these Distribution transformers filled with ester liquids
are same as mineral oil filled transformers as per IS 1180 (Part 1): 2014 except type of cooling
and temperature rises.
Total losses according to three energy efficiency levels; level 1; level 2 and level 3 as applicable
for mineral oil immersed Distribution transformers as per IS 1180 (Part 1):2014 are also
maintained for ester filled Distribution transformers.
Being „K‟ class liquid having fire point above 300 °C, the best advantage of the liquid is to work
on higher temperature rises with compatible high temperature insulation material.
This standard explores such possibility based on IEC 60076-14 „Liquid-immersed power
transformers using high temperature insulation materials‟.
Of the several possibilities of using high temperature insulation system, the standard
recommends, to start with, a semi hybrid insulation system where thermally upgraded paper
(TUP) is used only for the conductor insulation to allow higher than conventional average
winding rises. Based on the availability 130 /140 temperature class of material can also be used.
In due course of time when sufficient experience builds using ester liquids, higher temperature
rises may be recommended using high temperature insulation systems.
Temperature rises as recommended for conventional insulation and mineral oil have also been
kept as an alternative and may be used for retro filling option.
Pad mounted distribution transformers are popular abroad. They are self-protected and obviate the
need of ring main unit as used in prefabricated compact substations up to 33 kV.
2
Such Pad mounted Distribution transformers are also suggested for use in the country up to 33 kV
filled with ester liquids. When sufficient experience builds, a separate standard in IS 1180series
can be developed to address Pad mounted transformers in detail.
There is no IEC standard on the subject of ester filled Distribution transformers. However,
considerable assistance has been taken while preparing this standard; from IEC 62770 “Unused
natural esters for transformers and similar electrical equipment, IEC 61099 “Specification for
unused synthetic organic esters for electrical purposes and IEC 60076-14 “Liquid immersed
Power transformer using high-temperature insulation materials”.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with,
the final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in
accordance with IS 2 : 1960 „Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)‟. The number of
significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified
value in this standard.
The Distribution Transformers covered by this standard may be marked with the “Standard
Mark”.
The use of the standard mark is governed by the provision of Bureau of Indian Standards Act
1986 and the rules and regulations made thereunder. The details of conditions under which the
license for the use of the standard mark may be granted to manufacturers or producers may be
obtained from the Bureau of Indian Standards.

Draft IS 1180 (Part 2): 2016
1. SCOPE
This standard specifies the requirements and tests including standard loss levels of ester
liquid-immersed, natural air-cooled, outdoor/indoor type, double-wound distribution
transformers for use in Power distribution systems with nominal system voltages up to and
including 33 kV and of following types and ratings:
a. Three phase ratings up to and including both 200 kVA, non-sealed and sealed type.
b. Three phase ratings higher than 200 kVA up to and including 2500 kVA both non-
sealed type and sealed type.
c. Single phase ratings up to and including 25 kVA sealed type.
NOTES:
1 The following types of transformers are not covered under the scope of this standard:
2 REFERENCES
The standards listed in Annex A contain provisions which, through reference in this text,
constitute provisions of this standard. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to
4
agreements based on this standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the
most recent editions of the standards listed in Annex A.
Annex A1 gives list of IEC, IEEE Standards, Cigre brochures etc. on Ester liquids.
3 TERMINOLOGY
For the purpose of this standard, the following terms and definitions shall apply in addition to
those given in IS 1885 (Part 38).
NOTE
The distribution circuit voltages are 3.3 kV, 6.6 kV, 11 kV, 22 kV and 33 kV in the country. The power supply for the end users is 415 volt,
3 Phase (240 volt, 1 phase), 50 Hz. Transformers with primary voltages of 3.3, 6.6, 11, 22 or 33 kV and secondary voltage of 433 volt, 3 Phase
(and 250 volt single phase) are called Distribution Transformers. The maximum rating of these transformers for the purpose of this standard is
considered up to 2500 kVA, 3 Phase.
A transformer which has a breather for breathing out and breathing in and/or a conservator with
expansion and contraction of liquid with temperature. The transformer tank body and cover are
bolted / clamped / welded type. The tank can also be of corrugated construction.
a) Transformers in which the total volume of oil together with inert gas / N2 or any
combination thereof, remains constant over the temperature range.
b) Transformers in which the total volume of liquid, inert gas / N2 or any combination thereof,
varies over the temperature range and this variation is accommodated by a sealed
flexible container (corrugated tank) or a flexible membrane.
Sealed type transformers usually have a bolted / clamped / welded cover construction.
According to IS 13503 “Classification of Insulating Liquids”, Liquids with fire point above 300
°C are classified as K class liquids. Synthetic Organic Ester, Natural Ester and Silicon liquids
come under this category. Percentage of biodegradability of silicone liquid is low (around
5 %).For the purpose of this standard, only Synthetic esters and Natural Esters which are 80 to
100% biodegradable are considered.
5
Vegetable oils obtained from seed (such as soya, rapeseed, and sunflower) and liquids from other
suitable biological materials and comprised of triglycerides are called Natural esters. Suitable
chemical substances called “additives” are deliberately added to natural ester insulating liquids in
order to improve certain characteristics, e.g. pour point, viscosity, foaming and oxidation
stability.Natural esters are suitable for sealed transformerand transformers equipped with airbags
or suitable liquid preservation system which prevents direct contact of oxygen with the liquid in
the conservator. Natural Esters are not recommended for free breathing type since oxygen from
air accelerates oxidation of natural esters and which increases the viscosity of the liquid.
By definition an ester is a reaction product from the combination of an acid and an alcohol.
Synthetic organic esters are manufactured from carefully selected raw materials to give a product
that is tailored to specific application of transformers blended with additives to improve certain
characteristics, e.g. pour point, viscosity, foaming excellent oxidation stability making it suitable
for the breathing system where the liquid has free access to oxygen from air. Synthetic organic
Esters are suitable for non-sealedand sealed transformers without any preservation system.

E-1 Calculation of Gauge pressure during oil leakage test from Normal static head
Hydrostatic pressure in oil is given by:
P=ρgh
Where,
p = Pressure at a point (Pa)
ρ=Density of liquid (kg/m3) (Ref. relevant standard or supplier‟s test certificate).
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s2)
h = height of oil column at a particular point (m) (measured from top)
E-2 As per 21.5.1.3, 21.5.2.3 and 21.5.3.3, the amount of pressure application during the
leakage test on assembled transformer for non-sealed and sealed type transformers with all
fittings including bushing in position is summarized below:
Pressure equivalent to twice the normal head measured at base of tank for 8 h (for 3 phase
transformer) and 6 h (for 1 phase transformers)
b) Tank withcorrugations
15 kPa measured at top of the tank for 6 h for both 3 phase and 1 phase transformer
E-3 Position of Pressure gauge is not specified. Based on facility available,the pressure gauge
can be mounted near the base of the tank or near the top cover(or on the cover)
The depth of static head at bottom gauge position shall be the height from highest oil level
to base of tank
The depth of static head at top of the tank shall be the height from highest oil level in
conservator up to tank top gauge location.
In case the conservator is not provided, (eg. Single phase transformers and small 3 phase
transformer below 63 kVA) and pressure gauge is mounted on cover of tank, a pressure
equivalent to one static head (tank height in this case) shall be applied since as per
requirement test pressure is equivalent to twice the static head.
