Overview
What is the CSA C88 standard?
CSA C88, “Power transformers and reactors” (current edition CSA C88:16, reaffirmed 2021), is the Canadian standard governing liquid-filled power transformers and reactors. It applies to liquid-filled transformers, autotransformers, booster transformers, load-tap-changing transformers, grounding transformers, phase-shifting transformers, series-voltage regulators and shunt reactors.
The standard sets out requirements and test procedures for these units — written primarily in reference to two-winding transformers, with many requirements common to multi-winding and specialty designs. Buying to CSA C88 gives Canadian utilities and industrial users a consistent, recognised baseline for power transformer performance and quality.
Note: CSA C88 covers the transformers themselves, while related bushing requirements are addressed under CAN/CSA-C88.1. Confirm the exact certification and test requirements you need when you request a quote.
