ELECTRICAL & RENEWABLE

7.1 G e n e r a l
All electric and renewable energy equipment and systems shall comply with the mandatory
requirements of §7.2.

7.2 Mandatory Requirements


7.2.1 Transformers
7.2.1.1 Maximum Allowable Power Transformer Losses
Power transformers of the proper ratings and design must be selected to satisfy the minimum
acceptable efficiency at 50% and full load rating. The permissible loss shall not exceed to
values listed in Table 7-1. for dry type transformers. BEE star rating for dry type transformer
shall take precedence over this table once notified by BEE under BEE Standards and Labelling
Program.

For oil type transformer BEE star rated transformer (BEE Standards and Labelling Program)
shall be used in all compliant buildings. Power transformers to meet compliance shall have:

(a) minimum 3 stars rating in ECBC Buildings


(b) minimum 4 stars rating in ECBC+ Buildings
(c) 5 stars rating in Super ECBC Buildings

*The total loss values given in above table are applicable for thermal classes E, B and F and have
component of load loss at reference temperature according to Clause 12.7 of IS 11171 i.e. average
winding temperature rise as given in Column 4 of Table 4 of IS 11171 plus 300C. i.e. for F thermal class
the total loss values shall be calculated at 1200C and for H thermal class the total loss values shall be
calculated at 1450C. An increase of 7% on total loss value for thermal class H is allowed.”
* The values as per Indian Standard/BEE Standard & Labelling notification for dry type transformer
corresponding to values in this table will supersede as and when the Indian standards/ BEE Standard
& Labelling notification are published.

7.2.1.2 Measurement and Reporting of Transformer Losses


All measurement of losses shall be carried out by using calibrated digital meters of class 0.5
or better accuracy and certified by the manufacturer. All transformers of capacity of 500
kVA and above would be equipped with additional metering class current transformers (CTs)
and potential transformers (PTs) additional to requirements of Utilities so that periodic loss
monitoring study may be carried out.

7.2.1.3 Voltage Drop


Voltage drop for feeders shall not exceed 2% at design load. Voltage drop for branch circuit
shall not exceed 3%at design load.

7.2.2 Energy Efficient Motors


Motors shall comply with the following:

(a) Three phase induction motors shall conform to Indian Standard (IS) 12615 and shall
fulfil the following efficiency requirements:

i. ECBC Buildings shall have motors of IE 2 (high efficiency) class or a higher


class
ii. ECBC+ Buildings shall have IE 3 (premium efficiency) class motors or
higher class
iii. Super ECBC Buildings shall have IE 4 (super premium efficiency) class
motors

(b) Motors of horsepower differing from those listed in the table shall have efficiency
greater than that of the next listed kW motor.
