IEEE Standard for General Requirements for Liquid-Immersed Distribution, Power, and Regulating Transformers
Class I power transformers shall include power transformers with high-voltage windings of 69 kV
and below.
b) Class II power transformers shall include power transformers with high-voltage windings from
115 kV through 765 kV.
The following tables show various system voltages, insulation, and test levels for various classes of liquidimmersed power transformers:
Table 4 lists dielectric insulation and low-frequency test levels for distribution and Class I power
transformers.
Table 5 lists dielectric insulation and low-frequency test levels for Class II power transformers.

NOTE 1For nominal system voltage greater than maximum system voltage, use the next higher voltage class for
applied voltage test levels.
NOTE 2Induced voltage tests shall be conducted at 2.0 nominal voltage for 7200 cycles.
NOTE 3Bold typeface BILs are the most commonly used standard levels.
NOTE 4Y-Y connected transformers using a common solidly grounded neutral may use neutral BIL selected in
accordance with the low-voltage winding rating.
NOTE 5Single-phase distribution and power transformers and regulating transformers for voltage ratings between
terminals of 8.7 kV and below are designed for both Y and connection, and are insulated for the test voltages
corresponding to the Y connection so that a single line of transformers serves for the Y and applications. The test
voltages for such transformers, when connected and operated, are therefore higher than needed for their voltage
rating.
NOTE 6For series windings in transformers, such as regulating transformers, the test values to ground shall be
determined by the BIL of the series windings rather than by the rated voltage between terminals.
NOTE 7Values listed as nominal system voltage in some cases (particularly voltages 34.5 kV and below) are
applicable to other lesser voltages of approximately the same value. For example, 15 kV encompasses nominal
system voltages of 14 440 V, 13 800 V, 13 200 V, 13 090 V, 12 600 V, 12 470 V, 12 000 V, 11 950 V, etc.
