SFRA, Detect of Winding Deformation in Power Transformer

Abstract

The sweep frequency response analysis is extensively used technique for detect hidden fault and condition monitoring of power transformer. The operation is administered by supply a coffee voltage signal of varying frequencies to the transformer windings and measuring both the input and output signals. These two signals give the specified response of the ratio is named the transfer function of the transformer from which both the magnitude and phase are often obtained. Frequency response is change as measured by SFRA techniques may indicate a phase transition inside the transformer, then causes of fault identified and investigation is required for root cause analysis.
