This part of IEC 60076 identifies the requirements for power transformers to sustain without
damage the effects of overcurrents originated by external short circuits. It describes the
calculation procedures used to demonstrate the thermal ability of a power transformer to
withstand such overcurrents and both the special test and the theoretical evaluation method
used to demonstrate the ability to withstand the relevant dynamic effects. The requirements
apply to transformers as defined in the scope of IEC 60076-1.
