Notes:
- Minimum values of low-voltage windings for both single-phase and three-phase transformers are intended to limit the current.
- Low-voltage winding shall not have a BIL rating greater than 30 kVA.
- Efficiency values shall apply for the fundamental 60 Hz frequency only
- Reference winding temperature 75oC.
