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.
Requirements for the Energy Efficiency Report, as Listed in Schedule IV of the Regulations

- high-voltage winding rating of
(i) 1.2kV Class, or
(ii) BIL 20-150 kV; - whether it is a three-phase with high-voltage windings and a voltage ratio that, between the highest and lowest of their rated voltages, is other than 2:1;
- tested efficiency in percent;
- the loss, in watts, when under load (load loss);
- the loss, in watts, when not under load (no-load loss).
