Frequency Response Modelling of Transformer Windings Connected in Parallel

On the Response of Interleaved Transformer Windings to Surge Voltages

Estimation of Moisture in Transformer Insulation Using Dielectric Frequency Response Analysis by Heuristic Algorithms

Transformers are one of the most valuable assets of power systems. Maintenance and condition assessment of transformers has become one of the concerns of researchers due to huge number of transformers has been approached to the end of their lifetimes. Transformer’s lifetime depends on the life of its insulation and the insulation’s life is strongly influenced by its moisture attraction as well....

Eddy Current Losses in Transformer Windings and Circuit Wiring

Skin Effect Figure 1 shows the magnetic field (flux lines) in and around a conductor carrying dc or low frequency current I. The field is radially symmetrical, as shown, only if the return current with its associated field is at a great distance. At low frequency, the energy in the magnetic field is trivial compared to the energy loss in the resistance of the wire. Hence the current Introductio...

Transformer Fault Detection Using Frequency Response Analysis

Power transformers prove to be a vital element or tool in electrical power supply and transmission system. They are capital intensive units and need to be monitored for faults. Faults in transformers leading to their failure are repugnant. Thus, there is a need to detect such faults at an initial level. This paper aims to detect, diagnose the nature and cause of mechanical faults, their identit...
