This paper presents hybrid expert system for diagnosis of electric power transformer faults. The expert system diagnose and detect faults in oil-filled power transformers based on dissolved gas analysis. As the preprocessing stage, fuzzy information theory is used to manage the uncertainty in transformer fault diagnosis using dissolved gas analysis. The Kohonen neural network takes the interim results by applying fuzzy informations theory as inputs, and performs the transformer fault diagnosis. The Proposed system tested gas records of power transformers from Korea Electric Power Corporation to verify the diagnosis performance of transformer faults.

Ground differential relay is used to provide fast, sensitive, and selective protection for the wye connected and grounded electrical power equipment such as generators, power transformers, and grounding transformers. The ground differential protection only protects the ground faults within the protection zone, so that it can't protect the line-to-line fault. This paper proposes the algorithm to provide the protection for the line-to-line fault through the ground differential protection. The proposed algorithm detects the line-to-line fault of transformer using the comparison between the positive and the negative current, when the ground differential relay dose not operate. The performance of the algorithm is verified using a PSCAD/EMTDC simulator under various case studies.

Small impedances in the superconducting Parallel circuits cause unequal distribution of the currents in the circuits. This results in Quenches or losses in some superconducting parts. This paper presents the fabrication and test results of a multi-interphase transformers (IPT) for equal current distribution in parallel circuits. Test results show that the IPT can effectively make the current distribution uniform in parallel circuits that have unequal resistances.

We have developed a current range extension method to obtain the ratio error and phase displacement of a current transformer (CT) by using absolute evaluation method and two different CTs. The method was applied to CTs under test with the current ratios of the range of 5,000 A / 1 A - 20,000 A / 1 A. The ratio error and phase displacement of the CT under test obtained in this study are consistent with those measured at the national institute in Germany using the same CT under test within an expanded uncertainty (k = 2) in the overall current ratios.

This paper describes a development of the temporary transformer system and method. The failure causes are genrally divided into problems in manufacturing, mounting and operating. To replace the bum-out pole transformers developed various facilities, power cable clamp, the control panel of self-sensing device and voltage connection box etc. That is more effective to establish the emergency transmission systems for the non interruption replacement of distribution transformers.

To enhance the reliability of distribution transformers in service and to reduce the cost of maintaining and replaceing these, the condition and life of those insulating system should be evaluated accurately and the time to replace should be determined economically. Since the transformer failures related to insulation failure indicates that the primary cause is normally mechanical failure of integrity due to loss of mechanical strength as a result of degradation, the tensile strength characteristics of paper during ageing under accelerated conditions in insulating oil and research trends for assessing the life of insulating paper were investigated.

Magnetic circuit is a physical modeling method that is useful in designing and analyzing power transformers, especially for a priori evaluation of leakage and magnetizing inductance before actual production. In this study, a novel modeling approach that uses PSIM magnetic elements adopting gyrator and permeance-capacitances is investigated. A formula to determine the permeance-capacitors in the core and leakage path are established, and a simulation jig is devised to link the physical model and the electrical terminal characteristics with an automated parameter determination process. The derived formula is verified by measurement results of the prototype transformer samples. Given its accuracy and simplicity, this approach is suitable for analyzing and designing LLC resonant transformers whose leakage and magnetizing inductance are very critical to circuit operation.

A field-oriented UHF system for on-line PD monitoring of transformers. is designed, which has been installed inside the oil tank of a transformer by two ways: on-line installing mode through the oil-valve and pre-installing mode through the man hole/hand hole cover. This system has successfully captured long intermittent discharge signals that hadn't been detected through conventional techniques, and solved the problem successfully. The results demonstrate that UHF technique has great advantages for on-line PD monitoring of transformers. By adopting the peak detection technique, it becomes easy and effective for the transplantation of the phase-resolved pattern recognition technique from conventional method to UHF method, and then to realize continuous on-line monitoring, source characterization and trending analysis.

This paper deals with the mesurement and the analysis by means of EMTP simulation for the fast-rising switching surges. The fast-rising surges having up to 180ns of front time and 3.42 p.u of peak value were measured at the 154KV substations. The fast-rising surges are expected to cause electric breakdown because the penetrating surges to the transformers result in the higher stress in the winding end than the average stress along the winding.

This paper presents a maintenance application for power transformer. High quality maintenance and accurate diagnosis are essential for all transformers, especially for older ones. The developed application provides maintenance guides for dry type transformer and oil-filled transformer to prevent any malfunctions and to lengthen the lifetime of transformers. Based on windows application, TTS (text to speech) and 3D graphics technologies have been used to enhance the user friendly interface. Developed application is helpful for both expert and novice operators at substation.
