Standardization and Consistency: The primary mission of the IEC is to ensure that the vast array of electrical and electronic technologies work seamlessly and safely together. They do this by developing international standards that ensure that products and systems are safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly.
Facilitating International Trade: By establishing universally recognized standards, the IEC plays a crucial role in breaking down barriers to international trade. Products and systems that conform to IEC standards can be sold and used in many different countries more easily.
Promoting Innovation and Global Collaboration: The IEC fosters innovation by providing a platform for experts from different countries and industries to collaborate, share knowledge, and develop new ideas. This collaboration often leads to the development of cutting-edge standards that support the introduction of new technologies.
Addressing Global Challenges: The IEC also contributes to solving global challenges such as energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, and smart grids. Their work in these areas helps to drive sustainable development and address climate change.
Ensuring Safety and Reliability: Safety and reliability are core aspects of the IEC’s mission. The standards they develop help to ensure that electrical devices and systems are safe to use and reliable, thereby protecting consumers and the environment.
Knowledge and Information Dissemination: Besides setting standards, the IEC also plays an educational role by disseminating knowledge and information about new technologies, best practices, and international standards.
In summary, the IEC’s mission is centered on promoting international cooperation, ensuring the safe and efficient functioning of electrical and electronic technologies, and facilitating global trade and innovation through standardization.
The power system is a system of electric energy production, transmission, distribution and consumption composed of power generation, transformation, transmission, distribution and consumption. Transformers are extremely important substation equipment in power generation, transformation and distribution. It is transmitted to the place where power energy is needed through the transmission line through the transformer. A power transformer is a transformer that converts the AC voltage and current values of one power system into different voltage and current values of another power system to transmit electrical energy;
The distribution transformer is reduced from a higher voltage to the last-level distribution transformer, and is directly used as a power transformer for distribution. Ensuring the safe and economical operation and normal life of transformers and improving their reliability and availability is not only the key to reducing the cost of the power industry, but also the key to ensuring the development of various fields of the national economy.
As early as 1965, the Soviet Union proposed to unify the most common transformer components and parts in a range of transformer series that have been finalized, and if possible, in several series and complete sets of accessories, which is of great importance to the smooth development of the transformer manufacturing industry. Significant; while developing standards for transformers, separate standards for components and parts must also be developed.
With the rapid development of the power system, the number of transformers has increased sharply, the voltage level has developed to 1000kV, and the capacity has developed to 1500MVA. The standard system of transformer product performance, key raw material and component performance, handover acceptance, preventive test and other standard systems is relatively complete, which is of great significance for ensuring and improving product quality.
Product standards are the technical basis for product procurement, design, production, testing, acceptance, use and maintenance;
The handover acceptance standard is to check the quality of the transformer after long-distance transportation and installation, and to establish a comparison benchmark for the long-term operation of the transformer;
Preventive testing standards are designed to detect defects in transformers in operation, prevent accidents or equipment damage.
This paper sorts out the current standards for power transformers in terms of product performance, key raw materials and component performance, handover acceptance, preventive test, etc., and provides current standard support for transformer design, manufacturing, factory acceptance, on-site handover acceptance, operation and maintenance, etc. Provide technical basis for transformer technical evaluation and fault analysis.
