Abstract:Power transformer represents the largest portion of capital investment in transmission and distribution substations. Transformer functional life is influenced by thermal, mechanical and dielectricstresses. The concept of insulation 'Thermal life 'is a useful one, in which it can set a standard level of physical condition below which insulation integrity may be prejudiced by mechanical or dielectric stresses, normally experienced in service. In power transformer, the oil serves a dual purpose as insulating and … Show more
