Insulation and
Temperature

All Jefferson Electric transformers are designed and manufactured with the best quality insulation available. There
are classes of insulation systems for different temperatures as defined by NEMA and ANSI. Insulation classes are
rated in °C rise above a specific ambient of 40°C maximum. A transformer having a specific class of insulation, for
example Class 220, can have an average winding temperature rise of 150°C with a maximum hot spot temperature
rise of 180°C. If the room ambient temperature is 40°C, then the total temperature of the hottest spot would be
220°C.

Jefferson Electric transformers are designed to operate at rated load and voltage in maximum room ambient
temperatures of 40°C, average room ambient temperature not to exceed 30°C, and at altitudes not to exceed 3300
feet in accordance with NEMA standards.

Insulating Classifications
The designations for insulation systems are numerical classifications based
on temperature ratings. Transformer ratings are based on temperature rise.
The accompanying table shows the designations.

Transformer and Insulation Systems Ratings

Insulation Transformer Max. Ambient Hot Spot


Rating Rating Temperature Allowance

Class 105 55°C Rise 40°C 10°C

Class 150 80°C Rise 40°C 30°C

Class 180 110°C Rise 40°C 30°C

Transformer and Insulation Systems Ratings

Class 220 150°C Rise 40°C 30°C

Overloads
Overloads exceeding the maximum allowable insulation temperature can be tolerated, provided the overload is of
short duration and is preceded and followed by a period of operation at less than rated kVA (refer to ANSI C57.96-
1989, Tables 5,6,7). Overloading should be avoided unless approval is obtained from the Jefferson Electric
engineering department.

High Ambient Temperatures


Ambient temperatures above 30°C average over a 24-hour period and 40°C maximum require either a larger kVA
rating or a special low temperature rise transformer. A 150°C rise air cooled transformer can also be derated using
the formula of .4% kVA reduction for each degree centigrade above 30°C ambient temperature.

Altitude Corrections
For transformers above 3300 feet, reduce the kVA rating .3% for each 330 feet above 3300 feet.
