Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subject
to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new edit ions as necessary. It is
important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest editi on, and any
amendments thereto.
Full detail s of all Australi an Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards Australi a
Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The Australi an
Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives detail s of new publications, new edit ions
and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggesti ons for improvements to Australian Standards, addressed to the head off ice of Standards Australi a,
are welcomed. Notif ication of any inaccuracy or ambiguit y found in an Australi an Standard should be made
without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR 90127.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee on Power Transformers to supersede
AS 1028—1970. It is identical with and has been reproduced from IEC 289:1988, Reactors. Variations to
the IEC Publication required to suit Australian requirements are indicated by marginal bars and detailed
in Australian Appendix A. Details concerning particular requirements for earth current-limiting neutral
displacement reactors are given in Australian Appendix B.
This Standard should be read in conjunction with AS 2374, Power transformers.
Under arrangements made between Standards Australia and the International Standards bodies, ISO and
IEC, as well as certain other Standards organizations, users of this Australian Standard are advised of the
following:
(a) Copyright is vested in Standards Australia.
(b) The number of this Standard is not reproduced on each page; its identity is shown only on the cover
and title pages.
(c) There may be occasional dual language sections, but English is always one of the languages
reproduced.
(d) Where any cross-references to page numbers appear within the text, these relate to page numbering

STANDARDS AUSTRALIA

Australian Standard
Power reactors and earthing transformers

SECTION 1 — GENERAL

1. Scope

This standard applies to the following types of reactors:

This is a free 7 page sample. Access the full version at http://infostore.saiglobal.com.

— shunt reactors,
— current-limiting reactors including neutral-earthing reactors,

— damping reactors,
— tuning (filter) reactors,
— earthing transformers (neutral couplers),
— arc-suppression reactors,
— smoothing reactors,
with the exception of the following reactors:
— small reactors with a rating generally less than 2 kvar single-phase and 10 kvar three-phase,

— reactors for special purposes such as high-frequency line traps or reactors mounted on rolling
stock.

Where IEC standards do not exist for such small or special reactors, this standard may be applicable
in whole or in part.

Where reference is made to specific clauses and sub-clauses of the various parts of IEC
Publication 76: Power transformers, it is to be understood that the editions are as follows:

76-1(1976) Part 1: General.

76-2 (1976) Part 2: Temperature rise.
76-3 (1980) Part 3: Insulation levels and dielectric tests.
Amendment No.1 (1981).
76-4 (1976) Part 4: Tappings and connections.
76-5* (1976) Part 5: Ability to withstand short-circuit.

2. Definitions

The definitions given in this clause concern the categories of reactors which form the subject of
sections Two to Eight of this standard.

Additional definitions are given in those sections of terms which are specific to the particular
category or which are given a particular meaning when related to that category.

* The second impression (1982) incorporates Amendment No.1 (1979).
