Modeling and Characterization of Leakage Inductances for Transformer Winding Fault Studies

چکیده
This paper presents an analytical method to compute the leakage inductances of power transformers with a turn-to-turn winding fault. A leakage inductance model to represent the transformer with faulty turns is also proposed. The results obtained from the application of the analytical method are validated by using data obtained from finite-element analysis and experimental tests.

Characterization 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 کاملTransformer and Inductor Design for Optimum Circuit Performance
The energy absorbed and released by transformer leakage inductances during each switching period usually ends up as loss, thus impairing switching power supply efficiency. Even when much of this energy is recycled and recovered through the use of resonant or active clamping techniques, leakage inductance remains as the main factor in cross-regulation errors among multiple outputs, a problem tha...
متن کاملA New Atp Add-on for Modeling Internal Faults in Power Transformers
The more sophisticated a protection algorithm, the more information on both steady-state and transient behavior of a protected element required for proper designing, setting and testing of a given relay. In the case of a power transformer, the most important phenomena to be modeled from the standpoint of protective relaying are: magnetizing inrush including initial, recovery and sympathetic inr...
متن کاملRecognition and Location of Power Transformer Turn to Turn Fault by Analysis of Winding Imposed Forces
Turn to turn fault is one of the major internal failures in the power transformers that if it is not quickly detected, can be extended and led to a complete transformer breakdown. So, the diagnosis and location of the turn to turn fault of the power transformer, as one of the most important equipment in the power system, is the main objective of this paper. For this purpose, a detailed model of...
متن کاملTransformer Models for Detection of Incipient Internal Winding Faults
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 pap...
