Massachusetts weary of energy-efficient transformer law
Article Abstract:
Massachusetts has passed a law requiring all newly installed transformers to be at least 97% efficient. The law, which seeks to implement the National Electrical Manufacturers Assn's Standard TP-1,`Guide for Determining Energy Efficiency for Distribution Transformers,' has the potential to save a large amount from the state's energy expenditure. However, the law's absence from the Masschusetts building code will make its enforcement difficult.
