Scope : Design, construction, manufacture and operation for all kinds
of power transformers, including industrial , DC converters and
phase-shift transformers and for all types of reactors and
transformer components (bushing, tap-changer)

In the past ( known as SC12 ) activities were focussed on design
problems related to the rapid increase of rated voltage and power

Today, the two Strategic Directions for A2 future activities are :
Services to Customers ( Reliability, Life management,
Economics, Tutorials, ...)
Technology Issues (Safety, New technologies and New
concepts, Electrical environment, Pre-standardisation work, ...)
Chairman: Claude Rajotte (CA)

2011J oint Meeting leadership session feedback:
presented user-orientated information at the tutorials and the
colloquium with lively discussions
social activities are important to create new contacts for cross-
information and networking
common conferences on selected topics helpful to drive new
ideas and technologies: tutorials, colloquium, panel sessions
CIGR focuses on technical studies published in brochures,
and IEEE focuses on standards -- gives a different approach
and different views to the engineering world of substations
and creates new information
CIGR feedback into IEEE standards from a global basis
improves IEEE standards
