Turn to turn fault is one of the major internal failures in the power transformers that if it is not quickly detected, can be extended and led to a complete transformer breakdown. So, the diagnosis and location of the turn to turn fault of the power transformer, as one of the most important equipment in the power system, is the main objective of this paper. For this purpose, a detailed model of...

Transformer fault diagnosis and repair is a complex task that includes many possible types of faults and demands special trained personnel. In this paper, Petri Nets are used for the simulation of transformer fault diagnosis process and the definition of the actions followed to repair the transformer. An oil thermometer and a Buchholz relay are used for transformer fault detection. Simulation r...

An integrated safety detector relay is used for transformer fault detection. Simulation result...

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 internal faults of transformer can be identified by various techniques. The proposed technique is by the analysis of no-load current and harmonic contents present in it. The no-load current of transformer is non-sinusoidal for sinusoidal input voltage. And hence it contains harmonics in healthy condition of transformer. But if transformer has any internal fault then the no-load current magn...

This investigation deals with a mathematical model for a distribution transformer including saturation effect. To this end, the equations related to a three phase transformer are specified and the effect of an inter-turn fault is included. Naturally by applying an inter-turn fault the inductance and resistance matrix will change. Thus, unknown quantities of inductances and resistances for compl...

In many text books and papers such as [1]-[5], it is possible to find descriptions about shunt fault calculations and about the influence of the three-phase transformer connection Dyn on the fault currents distribution through distribution transformers. In [6] is described a method for digitally simulating a three-phase power system which is subjected to a fault at one location with blown fuse ...

There are some deficiencies in the improved three-ratio method even though it has been widely used in power transformer fault diagnosis. Using artificial neural networks, the power transformer fault diagnosis is improved in this article. With Matlab programming, three different kinds of neural networks, which are Radial Basis Function (RBF) neural network, Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) neu...
