Internal Protection of Transformer Windings Against Transeint Surges Using ZnO Varistors
Power system overvoltages due to switching, lightning and other disturbances are the main problem for designers of the power transformers. Once some frequencies of the incoming surges match with some of the natural frequencies of transformer winding, the resonance phenomenon is expected in transformer winding. The resonant overvoltages may destroy the insulation between turns and cause to insul...

متن کاملA Feasible Solution to Distinguish the Transformer Winding Deformation from Insulation Characteristic Impacts on FRA Spectrum
Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) is popular technique which has been used since the last decade as a diagnostic method for transformers. However, accurate interpretation of FRA measurements is still challenging. Recent studies reveal that apart from winding deformation, FRA data can also be influenced by moisture variation in transformer paper insulation. Hence, a specific transformer’s model ...
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 کاملEvaluating the Improvement of Partial Discharge Localization Accuracy Using Frequency Response Assurance Criterion
Partial Discharge (PD) is the most important source of insulation degradation in power transformers. In order to prevent catastrophic failures in transformers, PDs need to be located as soon as possible so that maintenance measures can be taken in time. Due to the structural complexity of windings, locating the PD source inside a transformer winding is not a simple task. In this paper, the effi...
