Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA) method is the most powerful tool to predict the condition of transformer winding. The reliable measurement of frequency response is equally important as its interpretation. A few standards (IEEE std. C57.149-2012, IEC 60076, the Chinese Electrical Power Industry Standard ICS27.100.F24-2005) & much research work have been published, stating dos & don’ts while measuring the frequency response of transformer winding. In this paper, an attempt is made to introduce an additional factor affecting frequency response, while doing measurements. Here, the effect of test cable termination at transformer winding terminals, to prevent signal reflection, on frequency response is presented. A possible way to select suitable value/s of terminating resistance that can correct frequency response is also proposed.
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.
