Trends in Power Transformer Failure Analysis
Wallace Binder
Abstract
The transformer failure can be initiated by many factors, but the results of a failure can be the same. Diagnostic tests provide indication of incipient failure. One must have a good understanding of the system conditions to which the transformer is exposed and an understanding of the transformer construction to properly investigate the cause and effect of conditions.
This will facilitate arriving at a conclusion of the analysis. Each construction type has its own advantages and an awareness of these aids in the determination of the root cause.
