Abstract-This work presents the use of terminal capacitance measurements to detect deformations in transformer windings. The lumped parameter representation of windings is considered. The Deformation Coefficient (DC) derived from the measurements is used to detect winding deformations. The extent and location of deformation can also be determined by this method. This paper presents the mathematical basis underlying the method of using DC for windings. The formulation of DC is also explained. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the applicability of the method for deformation diagnostics.
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.
