Abstract

For availability reasons, many generating utilities keep custom designed spare transformers in storage, readily available and identical to their critical large power transformers. However, in case the exact replacement is not possible, the only option the generating utility has is to search for a substitute transformer that, as a minimum, is able to offer a temporary solution. The purpose of this paper is to indicate the most important aspects to be considered when checking the interchangeability of such substitute transformer, based on authors‘ experience and on various standards requirements.
