Improved Power Transformer Winding Deformation Fault Diagnosis Method

Abstract

according to analysing the generation principle of transformer winding deformation and its impact on the vibration signal, and make a large number of trial, it can be found in addition to the fundamental frequency component that can reflect the failure, the new characteristic frequency which conclude 50Hz frequency component and some of its harmonic components, the harmonic components of the fundamental frequency can also reflect the failure. Transformer winding deformation fault diagnosis method is proposed based on the relationship between the characteristic frequency, it can not only diagnose whether the failure inside the transformer windings, but also determine the type of fault. In order to verify the proposed method, deformation fault is set to the actual transformer winding. After de-noising, discounted processing, the acquisition monitoring points of vibration signal is used by the proposed method, and the actual transformer is diagnosed, The diagnostic result is same with actual failure. It is shown that the proposed diagnostic method is accurate and feasible.
