Failure Cause Analysis of Pole Transformers

주상변압기 고장원인분석

This paper describes the symptoms with the failure causes of pole transformers analyzed at KEPCO branch offices' request in 2001, and ultimately aims for devising proper countermeasures against the failures. The failure causes are generally divided into problems in manufacturing, mounting and operating. The pole transformers encounter the failure with unique mechanisms. To verify the mechanisms to failures and help devise proper countermeasures, a flowchart is proposed based on the authors' experience and foreign case studies. The failure causes of pole transformers can be analyzed more exactly by using the flowchart.
