Transformer Models for Detection of Incipient Internal Winding Faults
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method of modeling internal turn-to-earth and turn-toturn faults in distribution transformer is discussed in this paper. The models are entirely compatible with the Alternative Transients Program(ATP). The simulation of the faults is based on known leakage factors between the various coils of the transformer. These leakage factors are evaluated by using a simple method implemented in this paper. A fault between any turn and earth and between any two turns on either winding of a single-phase transformer can be simulated using this method. In this paper, the terminal behavior of a test transformer is studied through the simulation of a simple system in ATP. When faults are introduced at various locations in the transformer primary and secondary windings, the terminal voltages and currents behaved as expected.

Transformer Internal Incipient Fault Simulations
Transformer fault detection and diagnosis is becoming more important due to the restructuring of the electric power industry. In this era of deregulation, loading transformers to their optimum capacity is becoming normal practice, which in turn applies high stresses on the insulation of the transformers and increases the probability of occurrence of internal incipient faults. Such faults can le...
متن کاملInter-Turn Fault Detection in Power transformer Using Wavelets
Detection and removal of incipient faults in power transformer winding is essential because minor faults may develop and lead to major faults and finally irretrievable damages occur. This research article presenta a new, simple and incipient fault detection technique, which is based on symmetrical component approach. Using this protection technique, it is possible to detect minor turn-to-turn f...

متن کاملCharacterization of Power Transformer Electromagnetic Forces Affected by Winding Faults
Electromagnetic forces in power transformer windings are produced by interaction between the leakage fluxes and current passing them. Since the leakage flux distribution along the windings height is in two axial and radial directions, so the electromagnetic forces have two components, radial and axial. There is a risk that a large electromagnetic force due to the short circuit or inrush current...
متن کاملNeural Network Modeling of Distribution Transformer with Internal Winding Faults using Double Fourier Series
An efficient transformer model is required to characterize the transformer internal faults for its condition assessment, which is experimentally very costly. This paper discusses the application of Neural Network (NN) techniques in the modeling of a distribution transformer with internal short-circuit winding faults. A transformer model can be viewed as a functional approximator constructing an...
