Transformer Winding on-Line Monitoring and Diagnosis Using Current Source Method

Abstract

Transformer winding deformation is a main type of transformer fault. The Frequency Response Analysis is a effective method to detect transformer winding deformation. Based on the traditional Frequency Response Method, the current source method is a new way to detect winding deformation. This method adopts the current source as sweep frequency source and uses the current frequency response curve to judge winding deformation. The simulation shows that the current source method is feasible. For some special transformers, this method can realize transformer winding on-line monitoring and diagnosis.
