This paper proposes an industrial solution (equipment) for lightning and surge protection of distribution transformers. The proposed protection equipment has been installed at 100 distribution transformers (sample) of the Public Power Corporation (PPC) of Greece. The article estimates the future transformer failures, considering two different cases: (a) transformer without the proposed protecti...

The delta primary transposed zigzag secondary (DTz) transformer has been designed and used to reduce the bad impacts of the harmonic in the distribution power system. The DTz transformer is constructed with delta connection in primary winding and the three transposed windings at the different core legs of secondary winding. The harmonic reduction method of the DTz transformer applies two basic ...

The doublesex-dependent sex regulatory pathway in Drosophila controls major aspects of somatic sexual differentiation, but its expression is not required in the X/X germline. Nevertheless, mutations in doublesex and in the genes that directly regulate its expression, transformer and transformer-2, disrupt early stages of oogenic differentiation to produce gonads containing immature germ cells. ...

In order to study how acoustical factors influence annoyance responses to low frequency noise with tonal components, this research has selected 220 kV and 500 kV transformer noises as examples and an 11point numerical scale as an evaluation tool, in which the percentage of highly annoyed (%HA) and mean annoyance (MA) are chosen to represent annoyance caused by noises. Results show that a logist...

Transformer is one of the important electrical equipment that is used in power system. Monitoring transformer for the problem before they occur can prevent faults that are costly to repair and result in a loss of electricity. The main aim of the paper is to acquire real-time data of transformer remotely over the internet falling under the category of Internet of Things (IOT). For this real-time...

This paper presents the design and modeling of a square micro-transformer for its integration in a flyback converter. From the specifications of the switching power supply, we determined the geometric parameters of this micro-transformer. The π-electrical model of this micro-transformer highlights all parasitic effects generated by stacking of different material layers and permits to calculate ...

Inrush current is a very important phenomenon which occurs in transformer during energization at no load. It depends on several factors like magnetizing properties of magnetic material, resistant and inductance of primary winding, supply frequency, switching angle of circuit breaker, applied voltage etc. Objective of this study is to estimate the maximum value of transformer inrush current. Mea...

a simple method is described for analysis of transients in power network. the method is developed for analysis of transformer and generator winding resonances due to their interaction with transmission lines caused by switching surges. the method is already used for calculation of overvoltages which had resulted in damages in the transformer winding of a hydro power plant. nonlinearity in the i...

Power transformers are one of the most critical devices in power systems. It is responsible for voltage conversion, power distribution and transmission, and provides power services. Therefore, the normal operation of the transformer is an important guarantee for the safe, reliable, high quality and economical operation of the power system. It is necessary to minimize and reduce the occurrence o...
