Transformer is one of the important electrical equipment that is used in power system. Monitoring transformer for the problem before they occur can prevent faults that are costly to repair and result in a loss of electricity. The main aim of the paper is to acquire real-time data of transformer remotely over the internet falling under the category of Internet of Things (IOT). For this real-time...

Abstruct-This paper proposes a transformer assisted PWM zero voltage switching Neutral-Point-Clamped (NPC) inverter. With the assistance of a transformer assisted small rating lossless auxiliary circuit, the main switches work with zero voltage switching without suffering from any voltage/current spikes, under simple explicit control. The technique allows for higher operating frequency and bett...

usually both ends of a transformer winding are at the same side of the magnetic core. with this arrangement there are automaticaly the same number of the turns for each winding in both core windows next to the middle leg of a three phase three leg core type transformer. contrary to this arrangement it is possible to put the two ends of a winding at the different sides of the core. in this case ...

internal turn-turn faults (ttf) are the most common failures in power transformers, which could seriously reduce their life expectancy. although common protection schemes such as current-baseddifferential protection are able to detect some of the internal faults, some other minor ones (such as ttfs andshort circuit near the neutral point) cannot be detected by such schemes. likewise, these rela...

rotection schemes employing the differential relaying principle exhibit certain limitations in applications with power transformers. This is because the detection of a differential current does not clearly distinquish between internal faults and other possible conditions. Among the phenomena most likely to upset the current balance and cause the relay to malfunction are inrush magnetizing curre...

Stray magnetic field is one of the main issues in design of transformers, since it causes non-ideal behavior of transformers. One of the techniques is usually adopted to mitigate the unwanted stray magnetic field is the use of auxiliary windings creating a magnetic field opposite to the incident one giving rise to the reduction of the total magnetic fields. This paper presents a new mathematica...

This paper presents a 4th order CLCL resonant converter which is suitable for constant current power supply applications. This converter is designed with Immittance characteristic with two inductors and two capacitors in resonant network. A detailed analysis and design process of a 200w converter as a constant current supply have been provided and simulation results are verified with results of...

This paper presents a new three-phase step-up dc–dc converter with a three-phase high-frequency (HF) isolation transformer in a current-mode controlled closed loop. The converter’s main characteristics are reduced input ripple current, step-up voltage, HF transformer, reduced output voltage ripple due to threepulse output current, and the presence of only three active switches, this being a mai...

Commutation failure is a common fault for line-commutated converters in the inverter. To reduce the possibility of commutation failure, many prediction algorithms based on alternating current (AC) voltage detection have already been implemented in high voltage direct current (HVDC) control and protection systems. Nevertheless, there are currently no effective methods to prevent commutation fail...

A novel current injection network for low-harmonic rectifiers that apply the third harmonic current injection is proposed in this letter. The current injection network requires one inductor, two capacitors, and one 1 : 1 transformer with voltampere rating of only 0.16% of the input power. The transformer is introduced to provide complete rejection of harmonic components of the injected currents...
