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...

the frequency response analysis (fra) test has been recognized as one of the sensitive tools available for detecting electrical and mechanical faults inside power transformers. however, there is still no universally systematic interpretation technique for these tests. many research efforts have employed different statistical criteria in order to aid the interpretative capability of the fra, but...

Certain level of mechanical deformations in winding does not hamper the normal performance of power transformer. However, such incipient deformations if unattended could result in permanent failure of transformer. To this end, an approach is proposed to assess the severity of mechanical deformations in transformer winding. These deformations get reflected as changes in its high frequency behavi...

The wind turbine converts the wind energy into electrical energy, wherein the electrical machines are coupled with wind turbines for this conversion. The electrical machines are liable to meet with faults, but to regain the system reliability the faults should be detected earlier. According to studies of electrical power research institute (EPRI) most of the faults in electrical motors are crea...

A transformer is the most valuable and expensive property for power utility, thus ensuring its reliable operation is a major task for both operators and researchers. Online impulse frequency response analysis has proven to be a promising technique for detecting transformer internal winding mechanical deformation faults when a power transformer is in service. However, as so far, there is still n...

Transformer tank vibration has been used for the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of power transformers, as well as for the evaluation of radiated sound power from such power transformers. In both applications, seeking a correlation between transformer tank vibration and the vibration of the transformer windings and core becomes a challenge for fault identification and noise control at ...

This paper presents a parametric low differential order model, suitable for mathematically analysis for Induction Machines with faulty stator. An adaptive Kalman filter is proposed for recursively estimating the states and parameters of continuous–time model with discrete measurements for fault detection ends. Typical motor faults as interturn short circuit and increased winding resistance ...

Induction motors are usually considered as one of the key components in various applications. To maintain the availability of induction motors, it calls for a reliable condition monitoring and prognostics strategy. Among the common induction motor faults, stator winding faults are usually diagnosed with current and voltage signals. However, if the same performance can be achieved, the use of vi...

Partial discharge is the commencement of failure of insulation of electrical devices used at high voltage. If such discharge is not detected then fault may increase at the working duration. Basically partial discharge is the cause of failure of insulation in electrical equipment. The insulation of electrical equipment deteriorates due to thermal, mechanical, electrical and environmental stresse...
