Diagnosis winding short-circuit faults of power transformer

Abstract

Diagnostic goal of transformers in service is to detect the winding or the core in fault. Transformers are valuable equipment which makes a major contribution to the supply security of a power system. Consequently, it is of great importance to disequilibria the three phases courant of power transformers. So, vector diagram Analysis is useful tool for reliable detection of incipient mechanical fault in a transformer, by finding winding or core defects. The authors propose this article, the coupled circuits method, because, it gives most possible exhaustive modelling of transformers. Measurement courant homopolaire in order to improve and simplify the response for à faults transformer.This study can be useful as a base data for the other transformers of the same categories intended for distribution grid.
