Definition of typical, minimum and maximum values
Minimum and maximum values for specified limiting and safety conditions have to be understood as such as well as values shown
in “typical” graphs.
On the other hand, measured values are part of a statistical distribution that can be specified by an interval with upper and lower
limits and a probability for measured values to lie within this interval.
Unless otherwise stated (e.g. “100 % tested”), the LEM definition for such intervals designated with “min” and “max” is that the
probability for values of samples to lie in this interval is 99.73 %.
For a normal (Gaussian) distribution, this corresponds to an interval between −3 sigma and +3 sigma. If “typical” values are not
obviously mean or average values, those values are defined to delimit intervals with a probability of 68.27 %, corresponding to an
interval between −sigma and +sigma for a normal distribution.
Typical, minimum and maximum values are determined during the initial characterization of the product.

Performance parameters definition
Rated transformation ratio Kra
Rated short-time thermal current Ith
Ratio of Kra to the actual secondary voltage or current.
Ratio error ε
Maximum value of the primary current which a transformer will
withstand for a specified short time without suffering harmful
effects, the secondary winding being short-circuited.
The current ratio error, expressed in per cent, is given by the
formula:
Rated dynamic current Idyn
ε=
kra Is − IP
IP
× 100 %
Where:
Maximum peak value of the primary current which a
transformer will withstand, without being damaged electrically
or mechanically by the resulting electromagnetic forces, the
secondary winding being short-circuited.
Kra: is the rated transformation ratio
IP: is the actual primary current
IS: is the actual secondary current when IP is
flowing, under the conditions of measurement
Phase displacement ∆φ
The ∆φ is the difference in phase between the primary voltage
or current and the secondary voltage or current phasors. The
direction of the phasors being so chosen that the angle is zero
for an ideal transformer.
The phase displacement is said to be positive when the
secondary voltage or current phasors leads the primary voltage
or current phasors.
Linearity error εL
The linearity error εL is the maximum positive or negative
difference between the measured points and a corresponding
linear regression line, expressed in % of IPr.
