Preface
This is the fourth edition of CSA C9, Dry-Type Transformers. It includes numerous changes to improve the clarity of clauses and to update the Standard. It supersedes the previous editions published in 1981, 1977, and 1966.
Further requirements for dry-type transformers, in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, can be found in CSA C22.2 No. 47.
