The DOE officials also advised in 2006 that efficiency standards for Medium Voltage Dry Type Distribution Transformers (Input voltage of 601 Volts to 34.5 kilovolts) are expected to come into effect around the year 2010. With the DOE Final Rule published Oct.12 2007 these new efficiency levels for Medium Voltage Transformers come into effect on January 1, 2010. The regulations already in effect for Low Voltage Distribution Transformers remain unchanged.
