10.4. Properties (cont.)
10.4.14.© Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) capability
10.4.14.1.Geomagnetically induced currents (GIC) can cause saturation of the
magnetic circuit of transformers in a power system. This saturation can increase the
MVAR absorption of the transformers, leading to voltage-control problems,
generating significant harmonic currents, and cause heating of the internal
components of the transformer itself, leading to gas relay alarm/operation as well as
possible damage. Other effects of part-cycle core saturation are higher core sound
levels, tank vibrations, and load sound levels. These high tank vibrations may cause
loosening of terminal leads and may also impair accessories mounted on the tank.
10.4.14.2.The GIC capability of a power transformer constitutes both a GIC magnetic
capability and a GIC thermal capability, according to IEEE Std C57.163-2015.
10.4.14.3.The GIC magnetic capability of three-phase auto-transformer shall be based
on: Peak of magnetization current; Fundamental reactive power; Peak amplitude of
magnetizing current harmonics up to the eleventh harmonic. The values shall be
agreed between Manufacturer and Purchaser.
10.4.14.4.The GIC thermal capability of a transformer is mainly a function of the
magnitude and duration of the GIC waveform. The GIC capability of a transformer
design (see clause 5.27.4, ANN ‘B2’) is determined by the maximum allowed
temperatures for the windings and structural parts resulting from combinations of both
load current and GIC. These temperatures correspond to temperature limits
recommended by the industry loading standards for long and short duration of
emergency loading of transformer.
10.4.14.5.Recommended hot-spot temperature limits for GIC are as follows:
Component GIC type
Base GIC Short duration GIC events
IEC 60076-7/2005 IEC 60076-7/2005
Cellulose insulation 140 °C 160 °C
Structural parts 160 °C 180 °C
10.4.14.6. The GIC thermal capability test procedure shall be according to clause 6,
IEEE Std C57.163-2015 and subclause 11.3.7 of Ann. ‘B1’.
10.4.15.Voltage limitation
The applied voltage shall not exceed 1.05 times the rated voltage (principal tap) or the
tapping voltage (other tapping) (see IEC 60076-7/2005 clause 7.3.4).
10.4.16.Auto-Transformer Room
The Auto-Transformer shall be installed in ventilated indoor facilities.
The transformer room is 22 m long, 22 m wide, and 18 m high (see Appendix13).
The equipment room has natural ventilation (vents) and mechanical ventilation (fans).
The arrangement of vents for air inlet and air exhaust in the transformer room is: four
(4) air inlets (4.5 X 3.7 m) on room upper part and mechanical ventilation for air
exhaust (four fans) on upper part of opposite wall with the air inlet.

10.5.8.©Sound Level (Guaranteed value)
10.5.8.1.The guaranteed maximum sound power level of the three-phase auto-
transformer, under full load with all cooling sections in operation shall be up to 93
dBA at any tap-changer position.
10.5.8.2.The measurements and calculations of the sound power level will correspond
to the design of the auto-transformer (subclauses 10.5.12.7, 10.5.12.8) so they will
reflect the true sound power level of the transformer. The measurements shall be
according to IEC 60076-10/2016 and Appendix 10/Appendix 11. The sound power
level under full load shall be determined by the sum of the sound power levels at: "no-
load" excitation, "rated load current" and of the cooling sections at rated power
(according to IEC 60076-10/2016 clause 5 and 13).
a. auto-transformer with noise reduction walls (guaranteed values clauses 5.30.
Annexure ‘B2’)
1. If the transformer is provided with tank mounted panels with parts of the
tank not covered (for example the top of the tank), The method to estimate
the radiated sound power will be by performing two measurements of the
sound pressure method (or the sound intensity method) according to the
procedure described in IEC 60076-10 one with and one without panels
mounted. The measurement performed without panels represents the not
covered area whereas the measurement performed with mounted panels is
a representative for the covered area. The relevant physical area calculated
at the appropriate measuring distance is then taken to determine the partial
sound power; the total sound power level is derived by logarithmic
addition of the partial sound power levels.
2. This method will be performed on both "no load" and "rated current"
conditions.
3. If the "rated current" measurement will be performed with the cooling
sections in operation, the radiated sound power from the cooling sections
should be subtracted from the sound power of the "rated current" prior to
the determination of the partial sound power levels. The sound power from
the cooling sections should be added to the transformer's overall sound
power level at full load (according to IEC 60076-10/2016 clause 13).
4. This will be performed according to table 9 and table 10 of Appendix 10
and IEC 60076-10/2016.
b. auto-transformer without noise reduction walls (guaranteed values clauses
5.31. Annexure ‘B2’) shall be according to table 6, table 7 of Appendix 11 and

withstand without damage the thermal and dynamic effects of external short circuits
according to IEC Publication 60076-5/2006.
11.3.6.2.The thermal ability to withstand short circuit shall be demonstrated by

11.3.7.Geomagnetically induced current (GIC) Withstand Capability Test
11.3.7.1.Geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) can cause saturation of the
magnetic circuit of transformers in a power system. This saturation can increase the
MVAR absorption of the transformers, leading to voltage-control problems,
generating significant harmonic currents, and cause heating of the internal
components of the transformer itself, leading to gas relay alarm/operation as well as
possible damage.
11.3.7.2.The GIC test shall be performed with two auto-transformers of the same type
during the “back to back” test (see subclause 11.3.4). The HV terminals shall be
connected together and the rated voltage and excitation current applied to the parallel
connected tertiary terminals (see clause 10.5.11). The LV terminals shall be open-
circuited during test.
11.3.7.3.The autotransformer neutrals shall be subjected to 10 A, 20 A, and 30 A per
phase dc currents for a 30-min duration, while full forced cooling.
11.3.7.4.The first set of tests shall be conducted with rated excitation voltage applied
and step increase in dc injection of 10 A per phase. Once the temperature reached the
steady state value (see clause 10.4.14.5), the current shall be stepped back to 0 A
while continuing to record temperatures until they again reach steady-state values.
11.3.7.5.During test the following characteristics shall be recorded:
- Applied ac voltage
- Injected dc current
- Exciting per/phase winding current
- No load losses
- Exciting current harmonics (% and order to at least 11th harmonic) and total harmonic
distortion
11.3.7.6. Hot-spot temperature of the internal transformer components (tie plates, clamps,
windings, core) measured by fiber optic temperature probes (see clause 5.27.4, ANN ‘B2’).
- Thermo-vision scanning of the transformer tank (walls and cover)
- Top & bottom transformer oil temperature and ambient temperature
- Measure transformer sound level at no—load (100% voltage) and at dc injection of
30A/phase, test procedure shall be agree between manufacturer and purchaser.
- Gas-in-oil analysis by pre-approved laboratories only (see table B, Appendix 1): Before
and after the temperature rise tests a gas-in-oil analysis shall be performed, according to
clause 7.12 , IEC 60076-2/2011, Annex. D “Dissolved gases analysis for the detection of
local overheating”, IEC 61181/2007, see Appendix 1.

12.1.5.If the dew point readings indicate an average moisture content in percent
of dry weight of the auto-transformer insulation is higher than 0.5%, the
