In this paper, a new model based on the thevenin equivalent circuit for investigating the ultra-saturation phenomenon during the energization of a loaded power transformer is presented and its effect on the differential protection of the transformer is considered. The ultra-saturation phenomenon causes the mal-operation of the power transformer differential protection. So, the description a...

This paper deals with three types of power transformer failure analysis tests which can help in monitoring the transformer condition. The three methods are Conventional oil test, Furan derivatives test and Markov models criteria. Conventional oil testing procedure includes determination of gas concentrations in the transformer oil sample and analyzing the fault by considering ratio of two suita...

The Power Requirement in urban and metro areas is very high with an exponential growth. The distribution system with LVDS results in multiple loads fed from a bulk power transformer resulting in higher regulation in the tail ends. Moreover there is an increase in the system losses, power factor, voltage profile and performance are affected in the existing distribution system. Losses in an elect...

Power transformers are electrical machines that allow us to transport electric energy, with reduced losses, from generation stations to consumption points. This definition gives us an idea of the number of transformers that are used in power distribution systems worldwide. The main problem that may affect power transformers is the operation at high temperature. This paper summarizes the results...

This paper presents the time domain and timefrequency domain analysis results of incipient events in single-phase distribution transformers. This analysis will aid in the development of an automatic detection method for internal incipient faults in the transformers. The detection method can provide information to predict failures ahead of time so that the necessary corrective actions are taken ...
