The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is required by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 to consider standards for distribution transformers. On October 22, 1997, the Secretary determined, based on the best information currently available, that it appears energy conservation standards for electric distribution transformers would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in a significant energy savings. This site provides information on the test procedure and energy conservation standards rulemakings for distribution transformers. The following documents are available as Adobe Acrobat PDFs.
