Dec 1, 2019 · Non-PCB Transformer means any transformer that contains less than 50 ppm PCB; except that any transformer that has been converted from a PCB Transformer or a PCB-Contaminated Transformer cannot be classified as a non-PCB Transformer until reclassification has occurred, in accordance with the requirements of § 761.30(a)(2)(v).

Non-PCB Transformer means any transformer that contains less than 50 ppm PCB; except that any transformer that has been converted from a PCB Transformer or a PCB-Contaminated Transformer cannot be classified as a non-PCB Transformer until reclassification has occurred, in accordance with the requirements of § 761.30(a)(2)(v).

PCBs used as dielectrics in transformers, capacitors, and fluorescent light ballasts are common throughout industry worldwide. This paper addresses identification of PCB-containing electrical equipment, alternatives to PCB dielectrics, storage, and disposal.

Non-PCB transformer: Any transformer containing less than 50 ppm PCB. PCB-Contaminated Electrical Equipment: Any electrical equipment, including transformers, that contain 50 ppm or greater PCB, but less than 500 ppm PCB.

5 days ago · With the phase-out of PCBs, the electrical industry has developed alternative dielectric fluids for use in transformers. These non-PCB fluids are designed to provide similar insulating and cooling properties while minimizing environmental and health risks. Some common non-PCB dielectric fluids include:

Not all transformers contain PCBs; the following procedures can be used to determine which transformers contain PCBs and which ones do not. First, a liquid-filled transformer may or may not have a conservator tank (see Figure 3).

Apr 2, 2001 · EPA is amending the requirements for reclassifying transformers, electromagnets, switches, and voltage regulators that contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from PCB status (500 parts per million (ppm)) to PCB-Contaminated (50 but <500 ppm) or non-PCB (<50 ppm) status; or from PCB-...

PCB Transformers may be converted to either PCB-contaminated or non-PCB transformers and PCB-contaminated transformers may be reclassified as non-PCB transformers by draining, refilling, and/or otherwise servicing the transformer.

A transformer can be reclassified as a Non-PCB Transformer if its dielectric fluid has been tested or otherwise verified to contain less than 50 ppm PCB. Testing Transformers in order to classify them as Non-PCB Transformers does not significantly change the actions required by the Rule.

Dec 26, 2002 · A transformer that has been converted from a PCB Transformer or a PCB-contaminated transformer cannot be classified as a non-PCB transformer until it has been reclassified in accordance with 40 CFR 761.30(a)(2)(v).
