A method for calculating the steady state temperature excess and thermal time constants of ele ments of power transformers using the so called three point formula proposed in [4] is generalized with allowance for the thermal nonuniformity of transformers and developed with allowances made for statistical data. The method uses data of thermal testing in the form of a time dependence of the temperature excess at a controlled point (heating curve). The possibility of applying a method for shortening thermal testing is shown.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
