Comparison of IEEE 62 to ANSI/IEEE C57.93
IEEE 62 C57.93 Topic Discussion
5.2.1 No directly
corresponding
section
Safety / Personnel / Hazards More detailed guidance could be provide regarding
disconneted, isolated & grounded with respect to what
conditions need to be coincident to constitute a safe
working environment. (Possible suggest may include
LOTO, references to NESC, and IEEE 1584)
5.2.3 No directly
corresponding
section
Safety / Personnel / Precautions Possible suggestion to include LOTO
5.2.5 No directly
corresponding
section
Safety / Personnel / Atomsphere
Inside Tank
Possible suggest may elaborate on Confined Space Entry
procerdures, including personnel recovery, tool inventory /
control.
5.3.1 No directly
corresponding
section
Safety / Apparatus /
Conequences of failure
The consequence of fire is lightly addressed. Further best
practices could be enhanced for fire prevention as well as
fire mitigation. The intensity of the arc hazard should be
quantified and appropriate personnel protective equipment
used based in incident energy levels in use or possible.
This should include gas generation or even tank rupture in
the event of a catastrpohic event.
5.3.2 No directly
corresponding
section
Safety / Apparatus / Overvoltage
N / A 3.1 General 2nd paragraph "For
outdoor ."
Possible suggestion to request / review MSDS
N / A 3.2 Inspection and receipt Available of oil spill kits may be appropriate.
N / A 3.3.1 General practices for Inspection
and receipt
Possible suggestion to include LOTO
N / A 3.6 Storage .. Drums stored outside must be protected from the
possibility of water contamination.. (add in spill prevention
dyke enclosure with MSDS accompaning shipments).
N / A 4.8.4 Processing dielectric liquid Add provision for spill prevention dyke enclosure and MSDS
accompaning liquid delivery.

Section 5 Safety
Note IEEE 62-1995 provides a section specific to safety, while there is not a dedicated section for safety in
PC57.93 D10.
Consideration should be given to adding a section on safety to C57.93 for topics that include:
(CSE) Confined Space Entry , Spill Containment Kits, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), Lock Out -Tag
Out Procedures (LOTO), Protection from Voltage Hazard, and Protection from Arc FlashHazard.
IEEE 62 C57.93 Topic Discussion
6.1.1 4.11e Winding Resistance C57.93 only states comparison to factor data, whereas
IEEE 62 also includes comparison to winding phases or
terminal pairs depending on winding connection.
6.1.1.1 4.11.e Measurement Techniques C57.93 only states Kelvin Bridge, whereas IEEE 62 also
includes micro-ohmmeter for <1ohm and Wheatstone
bridge >1ohm.
6.1.2.3 4.11d Turns Ratio Test C57.93 states ratio on each tap (DETC); if LTC - on all load
tap positions - it is unclear but could be construed as all
combinations of DETC and LTC; IEEE 62 is clearer - it
states it load taps present - with DETC in one position such
as nominal or maximum turns position on all LTC tap
positions, and on other DETC positions with LTC at neutral.

6.1.3.2 4.11.j Exciting Current - Test Methods C57.93 states at reduced test voltage, whereas IEEE 62
states at the highest possible test voltage without exceeding
the voltage rating of the excited winding. The test voltage
should be similar what is stated in 6.1.6.5 - i.e. as in the
field the test is usually performed at 10kV or lower voltage.
6.1.5 4.11a Insulation Resistance No overlaps or conflicting information
6.1.6 4.11b Capacitance, power factor and
dissipation factor
No overlaps or conflicting information
6.1.6.8 4.1 Capacitance, power factor and
dissipation factor - Test procedure
power factor for new transformers/reactors <0.5% -
consistent with both documents
4.11c and
4.7.2
6.3 4.11g Insulating Fluids IEEE 62 includes all criteria listed in C57.93 plus additional
criteria; there are no conflicts.
6.4 4.11.i Tap Changers No overlaps or conflicting information
6.5.2 6.1.6 Core insulation resistance and
inadvertent ground test
No overlaps or conflicting information
6.6 4.11.f and
4.11.i
Tanks and associated devices No overlaps or conflicting information
Annex A no conflicts
Annex B no conflicts
