  • Power Transformer Protection
    Power Transformer Protection Course No: E06-003 Credit: 6 PDH Velimir Lackovic, Char. Eng. Continuing Education and Development, Inc. 22 Stonewall Court Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677 P: (877) 322-5800 [email protected] POWER TRANSFORMER PROTECTION The advancement of electrical power systems has been reflected in the developments in power transformer manufacturing. This has led to a wide range of power transformers. Their ratings range from a few kVA to several hundred MVA and are used for a wide variety of applications. Power transformer protection varies with the application and transformer importance. In the case of a fault within the power transformer it is important to minimize tripping time in order to decrease the impact of thermal stress and electrodynamic forces. Distribution power transformers can be protected by using fuses or overcurrent protection relays. This leads to time-delayed protection due to downstream co-ordination requirements. Nevertheless, time delayed short circuit clearance is unacceptable on larger power transformers due to system operation/stability and cost of repair. Power transformer short circuits are typically grouped into five categories: - Winding and terminal short circuits - Core short circuits - Tank and transformer accessory short circuits - On–load tap changer short circuits - Prolonged or uncleared external short circuits Summary of short circuit causes initiated in the power transformer itself, is shown in Figure 1. Winding and Terminal Core Tank and Accessories OLTC Figure 1. Power transformer short circuit statistics TRANSFORMER WINDING FAULTS A transformer winding fault is limited in magnitude by the following factors: - source impedance - neutral grounding impedance - winding connection arrangement - fault voltage - power transformer leakage reactance Few distinct cases come up and are described below.

Transformer inrush detection is based on the following principle: the output signal BLK2H is activated once the numerically derived ratio of second harmonic current I_2H and the fundamental frequency current I_1H exceeds the set value. The trip time characteristic for the function is of definite time (DT) type. The function contains a blocking functionality. Blocking deactivates all outputs and resets timers. 5.1.4 Operation principle The function can be enabled and disabled with the Operation setting. The corresponding parameter values are Enable and Disable. The operation of an inrush current detection function can be described by using a module diagram. All the blocks in the diagram are explained in the next sections. 615 series ANSI 383 Technical Manual Section 5 1MAC050144-MB C Protection related functions Figure 185: Functional module diagram. I_1H and I_2H represent fundamental and second harmonic values of phase currents. I_2H/I_1H This module calculates the ratio of the second harmonic (I_2H) and fundamental frequency (I_1H) phase currents. The calculated value is compared with the set Pickup value. If the calculated value exceeds the set Pickup value, the module output is activated.

  • Failure Analysis of a Power Transformer Using Dissolved Gas Analysis – a Case Study
    IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 FAILURE ANALYSIS OF A POWER TRANSFORMER USING DISSOLVED GAS ANALYSIS – A CASE STUDY Ankush Chander1 Nishant2 1M. Tech Scholar, EEE Department Arni University Indora Himachal Pradesh, India 2Assistant Professor, EEE Department, Arni University Indora Himachal Pradesh, India Abstract Reliable and continued performance of power Transformer is the key to profitable generation and transmission of electric power. Failure of a large power transformer not only results in the loss of very expensive equipment, but it can cause significant guarantied damage as well. Replacement of that transformer can take up to a year if the failure is not disastrous and can result in tremendous revenue losses and fines. A Power Transformer in operation is subjected to various stresses like thermal stress and electrical stress, resulting in liberation of gases from the hydrocarbon mineral oil which is used as insulant and coolant. Dissolved Gas Analysis is a technique used to assess incipient faults of the transformer by analyzing specific dissolved gas concentrations arising from the deterioration of the transformer. DGA is used not only as a diagnostic tool but also to track apparatus failure. In this case study the fault and defects that occurred in 400kV/220kV/132kV/66kV Sub Station can be found by DGA.
