Transformers are the basic and valuable equipment of electricity network. Transformers correct function has important role in reliability of network .distribution transformers are designed for work at nominal frequency and full sinus current. Application of nonlinear loads in recent decades, such as power electronic loads, caused higher levels of harmonic. This kind of load can lead to creating heat, losses and therefore cause wear of insulation and aging of transformers. To prevent these problems, nominal capacity of transformers that will feed the nonlinear load, should be reduced. In this paper the parameters affecting the loss of a single phase 15 KVA transformers with harmonic loading measurement and will be calculated with standards then The transformers with harmonic loads are simulated in MATLAB software for calculating losses Finally, the obtained results are compared. The reduction of nominal power (Derating) and transformer life and flow rate limits and losses are calculated.
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.
