Non-Tariff Barriers

NTM classification: B7: Product quality, safety or performance requirements
Date when the measure came into force: 12 August 2016
Publication where the measure is specified: The Uganda Gazette Vol. CVIII No. 57
Regulation where the measure is specified: US IEC 60076-5:2006, Power transformers — Part 5: Ability to withstand short circuit
Country/Region applying the measure: Uganda
Description of the measure: This Uganda Standard identifies the requirements for power transformers to sustain without damage the effects of overcurrent originated by external short circuits. It describes the calculation procedures used to demonstrate the thermal ability of a power transformer to withstand such over currents 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 US IEC 60076-1.
