[Foreword, para 5 (see also Amendment No. 2)] — Substitute the following for the existing:
‘During this revision scope of both standards IS 1180 (Part 1): 1989 and IS 1180 (Part 2) : 1989 have now been
clubbed to make one combined standard for distribution transformer and designated as IS 1180 (Part 1). With the
publication of this standard, IS 1180 (Part 2): 1989 would be withdrawn. In this revision maximum losses at 50
and 100 percent loading have been incorporated and the scope is extended up to 2 500 kVA. Further, single phase
(3.3 kV to 33 kV) distribution transformers up to 100 kVA rating, have also been included to make it a comprehensive
standard on Distribution Transformers.’

(Foreword, para 7, line 3) — Substitute ‘1 star to 5 star’ for ‘3 star, 4 star and 5 star’.

(Foreword, para 8) — Substitute the following for the existing:

‘This standard specifies five energy efficiency levels: level 1, level 2, level 3, level 4 and level 5 corresponding to
1 star, 2 star, 3 star, 4 star and 5 star labelled transformers respectively, as prescribed by BEE. In due course of time
with improvements in technology and materials, higher levels of energy efficient transformers shall be progressively
used.’

(Foreword, para 9) — Substitute the following for the existing:

‘This standard is a part of IS 1180 series on distribution transformers. Other standards in the series are:
Part 3 Natural ester/ synthetic organic ester immersed’
