Abstract
A review on fault detection and condition monitoring of power transformer
Highlights
IntroductionPaper quality it reduces transformer lifetime. Likewise, the transformer condition is affected when oil gets deteriorated by moisture and oxidation (Jan et al, 2015; Mandlik and Ramu, 2014)
Real-time monitoring of transformers ensures equipment safety and guarantees the necessary intervention in precise time thereby reducing the risk of non-schedule energy blackouts
Incipient faults are divided into two main categories namely thermal fault and electrical fault
Summary
Paper quality it reduces transformer lifetime. Likewise, the transformer condition is affected when oil gets deteriorated by moisture and oxidation (Jan et al, 2015; Mandlik and Ramu, 2014). The degradation cellulose paper and oil contamination insulation in the transformer with time or any abnormal conditions are the primary causes of these incipient faults (Martin et al, 2014; Wang and Butler, 2002). Certain significant gases are produced by the breakdown of an insulation which are related with particular faults (Gibeault and Kirkup, 1995) These gases are methane (CH4), ethane(C2H6), ethane (C2H4), ethyne (C2H2), hydrogen (H2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide(CO) (Fofana et al, 2011; Lelekakis et al, 2012; Morais and Rolim, 2006; Su et al, 2000).
