Transformer Fault Detection Using Frequency Response Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 identity, type and their locale using frequency response analysis.

Classification of transformer faults using frequency response analysis based on cross-correlation technique and support vector machine
One of the most important methods for transformers fault diagnosis (especially mechanical defects) is the frequency response analysis (FRA) method. The most important step in the FRA diagnostic process is to differentiate the faults and classify them in different classes. This paper uses the intelligent support vector machine (SVM) method to classify transformer faults. For this purpose, two gr...
متن کاملDetection of Mechanical Deformation in Old Aged Power Transformer Using Cross Correlation Co-Efficient Analysis Method
s – Detection of minor faults in power transformer active part is essential because minor faults may develop and lead to major faults and finally irretrievable damages occur. Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA) is an effective low-voltage, off-line diagnostic tool used for finding out any possible winding displacement or mechanical deterioration inside the Transformer, due to large electro...
متن کاملPower Auto-transformer Mechanical Faults Diagnosis Using Finite Element based FRA
Frequency response analysis (FRA) is a sensitive method established for testing the mechanical integrity of transformers. However, interpretation of FRA signature still needs expert opinions and there is no FRA interpretation code generally accepted. Various mechanical faults with different extents on power transformers are required to aid FRA interpretation. To address this challenge, in...
متن کاملEstimation 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....

Abstract General faults in regular electrical railways system could be detect by implementing the specific protection functions such as ground fault or sensitive earth fault. Otherwise, in ungrounded electrical railway systems which using both feeding and return contact rail at the same time, fault detection cannot done with above-mentioned function. Due to recent growth in electrical railway ...
