Abstract
Four failures of large EHV auto-transformers on the AEP system are described. The failures were initiated by flashovers in the no-load tap changer during system faults. Investigations and tests attribute the flashovers to part-winding resonance. Test data is presented for various terminal conditions and wave shapes corresponding to system transient conditions. The relationship of these tests to ANSI standard dielectric tests is discussed. Corrective measures for existing transformers include arresters tied to an internal crossover connection and capacitor banks connected to the delta tertiary windings.
