Proposed Frequency Conversion Factor Wording for C57.12.90 WG Loss Tolerance Measurement Ed teNyenhuis WG Chair Oct 25, 2005 Add to Annex A - Bibliography: [B6] Ramsis S. Girgis, Barry Beaster, Ed G. teNyenhuis, “Proposed Standards for Frequency Conversion Factors of Transformer Performance Parameters”, IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, Pages 1262 – 1267, Vol. 18, No. 4, October 2003 New Section: Annex B (Normative) Frequency Conversion of Measured Performance Parameters While it is most preferred to perform all tests at the rated frequency, in the event it cannot be done at the rated frequency, then upon mutual agreement with the customer at the tender stage or prior to a contract, conversion factors given below shall be used to convert the measured values from the frequency used for measurement to the required rated frequency. The purpose of the frequency conversion factors is to have uniformity amongst the manufacturers when such cases arise. The below conversion factors are mainly intended for 50Hz to 60Hz conversion, however similar 60Hz to 50Hz conversion is also described. The 60Hz to 50Hz conversion factors are essentially the reciprocal of the 50Hz to 60Hz values. B1. No Load Loss Exciting Current The following conversion factors shall be used to convert the values of measured no load loss and exciting current at the design flux density from the frequency used for measurement to the required rated frequency. Voltage measured according to the average voltmeter method should be applied such that the resulting core flux density is equal to the flux density at the rated frequency of the transformer. For example, in the case of the test performed at 50 Hz on a 60 Hz transformer, the applied voltage should be 5/6 of the voltage corresponding to the 60 Hz operation.
