Abstract:Power transformers are essential equipments for the proper functioning of the electrical power system. Therefore, there is a need to provide solutions that extend their useful life and monitoring methods to avoid failures and consequently losses to electrical companies. This work presents a series of tests carried out in a prototype transformer built specifically for the purpose of studying the internal thermal behavior, using optical fibers to obtain the direct measurement of the winding temperatures. Thus, a… Show more
