A Case of Increasing the Overload Capability of Transformer
نویسندگان
چکیده
The following paper describes a case of increasing the overload capability of a 70 MVA power transformer up to 100 MVA. The realization of this project was done in close collaboration between the utility and the manufacturer. Primarily, EDF R&D performed thermohydraulic calculations that confirm the feasibility of this project. Secondly, the manufacturer confirms the ability of the transformer to withstand the over-flux by means of electromagnetic calculations. Finally, ERDF decide to test the solution in factory and then on site.

متن کاملMitigation Transformer Inrush Current Using Modified Transient Current Limiter
This study presents a modified transient current limiter (MTCL) for mitigation the inrush current of transformers. The MTCL is based on conventional transient current limiter (TCL), which, its configuration is modified to overcome the TCL drawbacks of operation. The proposed MTCL offers lower power losses and voltage/current THD during normal operation mode. It needs only one limiting reactor i...
