INTRODUCTION

The successful operation of transformer is

dependent upon proper unloading ,installation
and maintenance.
Transformers are designed, manufactured and
tested to the highest standards and are well
known for their quality and reliability in service.
This Indian standard was adopted by the Indian
standard institution on November 25,1981 after
the draft finalized by code of practice for power
installation and maintenance.
