Fault Analysis and Treatment of Oil-Immersed Transformers
Fault Analysis and Treatment of Oil-Immersed Transformers
Oil Leakage at Welded JointsOil leakage at welded joints primarily stems from poor welding quality, such as incomplete or detached welds, and defects like pinholes and gas pores. Although oil-immersed transformers are initially coated with solder and paint during manufacturing, potentially masking these issues temporarily, the defects tend to surface during operation. Additionally, electromagnetic vibration can cause weld cracks, leading to oil leakage.To resolve such leaks, the first critical s

What losses occur during operation of the transformer? How to reduce losses?
Transformers experience various types of losses during operation, primarily categorized into two main types: copper losses and iron losses.Copper LossesCopper losses, also known as I²R losses, are caused by the electrical resistance of the transformer windings—typically made of copper. As current flows through the windings, energy is dissipated in the form of heat. These losses are proportional to the square of the load current (I²R), meaning they increase significantly with high

Transformer Detection, Testing, Maintenance and Servicing
Transformer testing, inspection, and maintenance are essential tasks to ensure normal operation and extend the service life of transformers. Below are some recommended steps:Visual Inspection: Regularly inspect the transformer's exterior, including the enclosure, cooling system, and oil tank. Ensure the enclosure is intact, free from corrosion, damage, or leakage.Insulation Resistance Testing: Use an insulation resistance tester to check the transformer's insulation system. Verify that the insul

I. DC Resistance Test of Transformer Primary and Secondary Windings:The DC resistance of transformer primary and secondary windings can be measured using the four-wire (Kelvin) method, which is based on principles related to accurate resistance measurement.In the four-wire method, two test leads are connected to both ends of the winding under test, while the other two leads are connected to adjacent winding terminals. An AC power source is then applied to the two leads connected to the adjacent
