The diagnostic techniques to evaluate the internal condition of power transformer are presented in this paper. The techniques consist of electrical testing and insulating oil testing with their associated limitation to classify normal and abnormal conditions. The electrical diagnostics include exciting current, leakage impedance, ratio, DC resistance as well as core and winding insulation measurements. However, only the leakage impedance measurement is selected to present in this work as an example. In the insulating oil test, the DGAF and the amount of key gases are proposed to analyze the possible causes of failures. This method with further development could be used to effectively determine the condition of transformer components.
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.
