Impedance Category Screen

Checks a rating and its short-circuit impedance against the normal impedance ranges published in 10 CFR 431.192 for liquid-immersed transformers. A unit built to operate outside the normal range for its rating meets the special-impedance definition, which is one of the thirteen types excluded from the federal distribution-transformer category.

Enter a rating and an impedance, then press Screen.

Impedance is one of five criteria. Input voltage, output voltage, frequency and capacity are assessed alongside it before any coverage conclusion is drawn.
