Description / Abstract:
This standard sets forth bar-code label requirements for
overhead, pad-mounted, and underground-type distribution
transformers and step-voltage regulators. Included herein are
requirements for data content, symbology, label layout, print
quality, and label life expectancy. This standard assumes the
existence of central transformer databases within utility companies
so that bar-code labels need only carry basic transformer
identification data.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to promote standardization and
uniform use of bar-code labels on distribution transformers and
step-voltage regulators when specified by the user. In the longer
term, it is hoped that the bar codes provided as a result of this
standard will serve as an integral part of electrical utility
material and information management systems.
