Ambinet Temeprature For Transformer

The maximum average ambient temperature for installing a standard low voltage transformer is 30 degrees Celsius. Operating a transformer above 30 degrees reduces its capacity by 0.4% for every degree over 30, and can shorten its life. A custom transformer can be manufactured to operate at up to an average of 50 degrees Celsius ambient temperature.

What is the maximum ambient temperature that a

transformer can be installed in?


Issue:
Ventilation and cooling is an important issue in the installation and operation of
transformers

Product Line:
LV Transformers

Environment:
Applies to all Low Voltage (LV) Transformers by SquareD/Schneider Electric

Cause:
Excessive heat is destructive to transformers

Resolution:
The average ambient temperature for a transformer over a 24 hour period should not
exceed 30 degrees Celsius. For instance, if the transformer ambient temperature was 40
deg. C for 12 hours, then the transformer must not exceed 20 deg. C for the remaining 12
hours to average a 30 deg. ambient temperature.

If the average ambient temperature exceeds 30 degrees Celsius, the derating factor is 0.4%
reduction of VA for every degree Celsius above 30 degrees Celsius per IEEE C57 12.96. The
IEEE formula that is used to derive the 0.4% factor is valid only up to an AVERAGE of 50
degrees Celsius. Also, using transformers above their listed ambient temperature can
shorten the life of the transformer. Due to the number of other factors involved, such as
loading, frequency of use, and humidity, no data exists on how high ambient temperatures
affect the life of a transformer.

A custom Transformer can be manufactured through the field office that is listed for use
up to an average of 50 deg. C ambient. Please contact the local Field Office for a quotation.
