IEEE Standards documents are developed within the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of
the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. The IEEE develops its standards through a consensus
development process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which brings together volunteers
representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. Volunteers are not necessarily members of the
Institute and serve without compensation. While the IEEE administers the process and establishes rules to promote
fairness in the consensus development process, the IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy
of any of the information or the soundness of any judgments contained in its standards.
Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The IEEE disclaims liability for any personal injury, property or other
damage, of any nature whatsoever, whether special, indirect, consequential, or compensatory, directly or indirectly
resulting from the publication, use of, or reliance upon this, or any other IEEE Standard document.
The IEEE does not warrant or represent the accuracy or content of the material contained herein, and expressly
disclaims any express or implied warranty, including any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a specific
purpose, or that the use of the material contained herein is free from patent infringement. IEEE Standards documents
are supplied “AS IS.”
The existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply that there are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase,
market, or provide other goods and services related to the scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint
expressed at the time a standard is approved and issued is subject to change brought about through developments in the
state of the art and comments received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is subjected to review at least
every five years for revision or reaffirmation, or every ten years for stabilization. When a document is more than five
years old and has not been reaffirmed, or more than ten years old and has not been stabilized, it is reasonable to
conclude that its contents, although still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the art. Users are
cautioned to check to determine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE Standard.
In publishing and making this document available, the IEEE is not suggesting or rendering professional or other
services for, or on behalf of, any person or entity. Nor is the IEEE undertaking to perform any duty owed by any other
person or entity to another. Any person utilizing this, and any other IEEE Standards document, should rely upon his or
her independent judgment in the exercise of reasonable care in any given circumstances or, as appropriate, seek the
advice of a competent professional in determining the appropriateness of a given IEEE standard.
Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards as they relate to
specific applications. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of IEEE, the Institute will initiate
action to prepare appropriate responses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of concerned interests, it is
important to ensure that any interpretation has also received the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason,
IEEE and the members of its societies and Standards Coordinating Committees are not able to provide an instant
response to interpretation requests except in those cases where the matter has previously received formal consideration.
A statement, written or oral, that is not processed in accordance with the IEEE-SA Standards Board Operations Manual
shall not be considered the official position of IEEE or any of its committees and shall not be considered to be, nor be
relied upon as, a formal interpretation of the IEEE. At lectures, symposia, seminars, or educational courses, an
individual presenting information on IEEE standards shall make it clear that his or her views should be considered the
personal views of that individual rather than the formal position, explanation, or interpretation of the IEEE.
Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membership affiliation
with IEEE. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a proposed change of text, together with
appropriate supporting comments. Recommendations to change the status of a stabilized standard should include a
rationale as to why a revision or withdrawal is required. Comments and recommendations on standards should be
addressed to:

4. Cabinet-ordering specifications
This standard includes requirements that are intended to provide a basic, standard design. This standard
also provides options on many aspects of the design and construction. Additionally, the user may specify
and require other options. A sample ordering form is included in Annex B to provide a convenient and
complete method of communicating the purchaser’s selection of standard design, standard options or users’
options for all aspects of the control cabinet.
5. Standard cabinet construction
5.1 General
The following standard cabinet construction requirements shall apply to all control cabinets covered under
this standard.
Note that references herein to the National Electric Code® (NEC®) (NFPA 70®) are not intended to include
the complete NEC as a normative reference. All references to the NEC in this standard are specific to the
topic covered in the clauses containing the references only, and any other NEC requirements not referenced
in this document do not apply to control cabinets covered under this standard.
5.2 Cabinet-housing criteria
Unless specified otherwise, the complete cabinet shall be constructed for outdoor use to meet or exceed the
NEMA 3R designation as detailed in NEMA 250.
For special application environments such as corrosive or chemical atmospheres, marine or explosion proof
requirements, the appropriate NEMA or IEC designations shall be specified by the user. The NEMA Type
performance requirements are defined in NEMA 250 “Enclosures for Electrical Equipment (1000 Volts
Maximum)”. The IEC designations are defined in IEC 60529 “Degrees of Protection Provided by
Enclosures (IP)”.
Cabinets with gross weight greater than 20 kg (44.1 lb) shall have provisions for lifting and a sufficient
number of external tabs for the purpose of bolting to the transformer. Additional external brackets for
mounting gauges shall be specified by the transformer manufacturer or user.
Cabinet mounting provisions must meet the specified requirements of the user or supplier, respectively,
depending on who orders the cabinet from the manufacturer. One such requirement is the ability to
accommodate vibration suppressors or similar mounting hardware. Unless specified otherwise by the user
or supplier, the control cabinet designer should design the cabinet to be mounted on the transformer with
not less than a 200 mm (7.9 in) air space between the back of the cabinet and the transformer tank wall.
5.3 Cabinet dimensions
Cabinet height and depth shall be such that all switches, circuit breakers, fuses, device display panels, and all
similar components that require operation, adjustment, or inspection during normal operation can be
comfortably reached by a person of average height (approximately 1.7 m, or 5 ft 7 in) when standing at the
plane of the door. The mounted location of the control cabinet should be determined by the supplier based
on user specifications, transformer foundation design, shipping limitations, and other considerations. Unless
otherwise specified by the user, the bottom of the control cabinet shall not be less than 0.5 m (19.7 in) above

when the transformer is set on its foundation, and shall not be below the base of the transformer. Unless
specified otherwise by the user, the control cabinet designer shall assume that the elevation of the location
where a technician would stand in front of the control cabinet in order to work in the cabinet shall be the
same elevation as the base of the transformer.
5.4 Cabinet construction materials
Cabinets, doors, and hardware shall be of sturdy construction, and capable of operation under usual service
conditions for transformers as specified in IEEE Std C57.12.00 for the expected life of the transformer,
without bending or warping.
Unless specified otherwise by the user, all cabinets shall be constructed of cold-rolled carbon steel with the
minimum sheet metal thickness, based on the overall outside cabinet dimensions with doors closed, as
shown in Table 1.

Note that the minimum sheet metal thickness shall apply if either the length or the height, or both length
and height, fall within the dimensional range for that sheet metal thickness. For example, a cabinet with a
length of 700 mm and a height of 700 mm would require a minimum 1.51 mm sheet metal thickness. A
cabinet with a length of 700 mm and a height of 800 mm would require a minimum 1.9 mm sheet metal
thickness (see Table 1).
For special environmental applications where carbon steel cabinets are not suitable, either the
environmental conditions or other materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum, polymeric, or special
coatings, must be specified by the user.
5.5 Compartment styles and welding
Unless specified otherwise by the user or chosen by the control cabinet designer, cabinets shall have a
single compartment with one or two doors. If user specifications require isolated cabinet sections, or if the
control cabinet designer chooses to provide isolated sections, cabinets may be constructed with internal
compartments separated by steel barriers, with doors for each compartment. All external metal joints and
seams shall be fully welded to prevent trapped water and corrosion. Intermittent welds on internal metal
joints are acceptable, provided the metal surface preparation and finish coatings protect exposed metal from
corrosion.
