In this paper, a new model based on the thevenin equivalent circuit for investigating the ultra-saturation phenomenon during the energization of a loaded power transformer is presented and its effect on the differential protection of the transformer is considered. The ultra-saturation phenomenon causes the mal-operation of the power transformer differential protection. So, the description a...

An overview of the research and developments into new transformer design, undertaken in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Canterbury, is presented. Initially, single phase, 50 Hz, l1/0.23kV pole mount distribution transformers were fitted with either silicon or amorphous steel cores. The transformer tanks were filled with either standard transformer oil or liq...

This paper deals with three types of power transformer failure analysis tests which can help in monitoring the transformer condition. The three methods are Conventional oil test, Furan derivatives test and Markov models criteria. Conventional oil testing procedure includes determination of gas concentrations in the transformer oil sample and analyzing the fault by considering ratio of two suita...

The development of power systems and the move to smart grid have increased need for new technologies. In this regard, solid-state transformers been proposed as a suitable alternative conventional transformers. Solid-state are among equipment based on electronic converters that in addition better performance than provide variety other services. article, concept types transformer topologies confi...

It is important to monitor the moisture content of transformer oil in a transformer. One parameter of particular interest is the moisture solubility of transformer oil. It has been reported that transformer oils under different conditions have different solubility. Measurements of solubility for four different types of conditioned oil are presented in this paper: fresh Shell Diala AX oil, lab-a...

Paper presents electric and magnetic field computation of 35 kV voltage level of transformer substation 35/10 kV using CDEGS software. Based on well known theoretical considerations of electric and magnetic fields, a realistic simulation model of transformer station 35/10 kV was develop. All calculations are made for horizontal plane with height of 1,5 m above the soil changing coordinates alon...

This paper proposes the solutions to prevent over-voltage for the 220 kV distribution substations with several different voltage levels. The motivation comes from the failures of surge arrester number 2 of phase B at the transformer number 2 (CS2BAT2) of the Vietnamese 220 kV Thainguyen substation due to the over-voltage. The main objective is to enhance the operating stability of a scattered c...

One of transient phenomenon that causes the mal-operation of the power transformer differential protection during the energization of a loaded power transformer is the ultra-saturation phenomenon. In this paper, a new model for investigating the ultra-saturation phenomenon during the energization of a loaded power transformer is presented and its effect on the differential protection of the pow...

This paper proposes a new method to detect transformer inside incipient fault current using transformer internal parameters to determine the inside structure of transformer at good condition or bad. A transformer model was established by Jiles– Atherton theory using measured voltage and current and the initial parameters which were found using Genetic Algorithm (GA). Then, transformer internal ...
