IfcTransformerType

Definition from IAI: An IfcTransformerType defines a particular type of transformer that is an inductive stationary device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another.

> HISTORY: New entity in IFC 2x2

Use Definitions

An IfcTransformerType is a subtype of IfcEnergyConversionDeviceType that provides for all forms of transformer.

Usage of IfcTransformerType defines the parameters for one or more occurrences of IfcEnergyConversionDevice. Parameters are specified through a common property set.

Property Set Use Definition:

The property sets relating to the IfcTransformerType are defined by the IfcPropertySet and attached by the IfcRelDefinesByType relationship. It is accessible by the inverse IsDefinedBy relationship. The following property set definitions specific to an IfcTransformerType are part of this IFC release:

- Pset_ElectricalDeviceCommon: property set for properties that are common to all types of electrical devices, if available
- Pset_TransformerTypeCommon: property set for properties that are common to all types of transformer, if available

Geometry Use Definitions

Representations of the type are defined as representation maps (at the level of the supertype IfcTypeProduct). These are assigned at the occurrence through the IfcShapeRepresentation.Item being an IfcMappedItem.
