BS EN 60076-22-2:2019

What is BS EN 60076‑22‑2 on Removable radiators about? 

BS EN 60076‑22‑2 is the second part of an international multi-series standard that focuses on the power transformer and reactor cooling equipment.  

BS EN 60076‑22‑2 applies to radiators mounted on liquid immersed power transformers according to IEC 60076-1 and reactors according to IEC 60076-6 with and without a conservator for indoor or outdoor installation. It outlines the service conditions and the mechanical and electrical requirements that are common to this equipment. 

BS EN 60076‑22‑2 also outlines the operation requirements specific to this equipment as well as the preferred dimensions relevant for interchangeability and the type and routine tests to be performed.  

Who is BS EN 60076‑22‑2 on Removable radiators for? 

BS EN 60076‑22‑2 on removable radiators is useful for: 

• Manufacturers and suppliers of removable radiators 
• Dealers and distributors of removable radiators 
• Designers of removable radiators 
• Services/ certification providers for power transformer 

Why should you use BS EN 60076‑22‑2 on Removable radiators? 

Removable radiators are helpful for increasing the surface area for dissipating heat of the oil for the cooling purpose of the power transformer. 

BS EN 60076‑22‑2 specifies the technicalities like general characteristics, requirements, dimensions, drawings, normal service conditions set out to produce good quality removable radiators. BS EN 60076‑22‑2 also gives the users, test methods that allow the designers and manufacturers to achieve standardization and safety while production of removable radiators in order to achieve proper cooling function in a power transformer.
