Distribution Transformers

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

rulemakingsfor distribution transformers.
