| Use advice for data set | The life cycle assessment is a “cradle-to-grave” analysis, and the system boundaries are defined according to EN 50693, as required by the PCR. For transparency reasons, the manufacturing stage is further divided into an upstream and core stage. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The TJC 7.1 insulated voltage transformer is cast in epoxy resin and designed mostly for insulation voltage up to 36 kV. The constituent materials of TJC 7.1 33000/v3//110/v3/110/v3/110/3 V are presented below.

| General comment on data set | Both primary and secondary data are used. The main sources for primary data are the bill of materials (BOM), CAD-files, technical drawings, and site-specific foreground data provided by ABB. For all processes for which primary data are not available, generic background data originating from the ecoinvent v3.9.1 database, with system model “allocation, cut-off by classification”, are used. The database Industry Data 2.0 is also used for chemical substance which is not available by ecoinvent. The LCA software used for the calculations is SimaPro 9.5. The utility consumption and waste generation by ABB, in the core manufacturing stage, is allocated to the production of one reference product according to applicable rules. For the end-of-life allocation, the “Polluter Pays” principle is adopted according to what is defined in the CEN/TR 16970 standard. However, the potential benefits and avoided loads from recovery and recycling processes are not considered because it is not required by the PCR. According to PCR EPDItaly012, the cut-off criteria can be set to a maximum of 2 % of the overall environmental impacts. In this LCA, stickers and grease have been excluded as their weights are negligible. Process of phosphating has also been excluded due to the unavailability of data and complexity of modelling. |
