The paper analyzes the large power transformer unit regimes, indicating the criteria for the management of the voltage operating conditions, as well as the change in the operating conditions with the load connected to the secondary winding of the transformer unit. Further, the paper presents the software application for the evaluation of the transformer unit operation under different conditions...

Abstract In this work, the non-liner voltage distribution in transformer winding is investigated that occurs due switching and lightning. Transformer winding is modeled in the alternative transients program (ATP) version of Electromagnetic transients program (EMTPRV). EMTP software is used to simulate the very fast transient overvoltage. An experimental setup that consist of , Recurrent surge g...

This thesis describes how to provide standardized, current based, differential protection for any three-phase power transformer, including phase-shifting transformers with variable phase angle shift and transformers of all construction types and internal on-load tap-changer configurations. The use of standard transformer differential protection for such applications is considered impossible in ...

this paper proposes a flexible power electronic transformer (fpet) for the application in the micro-grids. the low frequency transformer is usually used at the point of common coupling (pcc) to connect the low voltage grid and utility network to each other. the conventional 50hz transformer results in enhanced low voltage-grid power management system during grid-connected operation. in this pap...

Among the most noticeable root causes of improper performance in power transformers, internal short circuit faults can be noted and if not quickly be identified and addressed in the accepted time interval, irrecoverable damages such as interruption or even collapse of the network connected to the power transformer would happen. In this contribution, three-phase transformer behaviors under magne...

This paper proposes a stochastic optimization method, based on ant colony optimization, for the optimal choice of transformer sizes to be installed in a distribution network. This method is properly introduced to the solution of the optimal transformer sizing problem, taking into account the constraints imposed by the load the transformer serves throughout its life time and the possible transfo...

Transformers are one of the most critical and essential components of electricity transmission and distribution. The life of a transformer is determined by the life of its paper insulation and transformer oil. To maximize the lifetime and efficiency of transformers, it is essential to be aware of possible faults that may occur and to know how to prevent them. One of the major faults in transfor...

Transformers are normally designed and built for use at rated frequency and perfect sinusoidal load current. A non-linear load on a transformer leads to harmonic power losses which cause increased operational costs and additional heating in power system components. It leads to higher losses, early fatigue of insulation, premature failure and reduction of the useful life of the transformer. To p...

An audio transformer is used in a guitar amplifier to match the impedances of the power amplifier and a loudspeaker. It is important to understand the influence of the audio transformer on the overall sound quality for realistic tube amplifier emulation. This paper proposes to simulate the audio transformer using a wave digital filter model, which is based on the gyrator-capacitor analogy. The ...

Overvoltage distribution along the transformer winding must be uniform to certify the safety of the operation of the power transformer. Influence of the parameters variation on the impulse voltage distribution (IVD) in disk winding transformer is going to be analyzed which hasn’t been analyzed on this type of winding in the previous papers. In this research, a transformer with disk winding and ...
