How do you know whether you can energize A TRANSFORMER after transportation to site or after a protection trip? Check Mechanical Integrity
16
Transportation damage can occur if the clamping and restraints are inadequate; such damage may lead to core and winding movement. Radial buckling or axial deformation may occur due to excessive short circuit forces while in service.

What Test can be Done? Frequency response analysis (FRA) using a low voltage AC wave of varying frequency to identify changes in natural resonance
19
Why FRA?
FRA Technique: The technique covers the full dynamic range and maintains the same energy level for each frequency, providing results that are repeatable and accurate. Impulse Technique: This technique requires high sampling rates and high resolution to obtain a valid measurement. The applied impulse does not produce constant energy across the specified frequency, which can cause poor repeatability that is influenced by the non-linear properties of the test specimen.

Historical data or Baseline Reference are, undoubtedly, the best reference to be used for FRA analysis However, it is not practically easy to get historical data due to constraints of outages Criteria to choose reference FRA measurements in the absence of historical data or baseline reference

Partial Discharge
What is PD Electric discharge that do not completely bridge the electrodes Discharge magnitude is usually small but can cause progressive deterioration and lead to failure
Overeating of dielectric boundary Charges trapped in the surface Attack by ultraviolet rays & soft X-rays Formation of chemicals such as nitric acid & ozone

Insulator Maintenance
Inspection - look for cracks, dirt etc., tracking, copper wash, mechanical damage Cleaning - Wash, dry wipe Repairs - Usually replace except special cases Testing - Megger & Power Factor test Do not climb on or use for personal support!
55
Inspect physical condition for evidence of moisture and corona Verify operation of cooling fans Verify operation of temperature and level indicators, pressure relief device, and gas relay Verify correct liquid level in all tanks and bushings Verify correct equipment grounding Verify the presence of transformer surge arresters Test load tap-changer Inspect all bolted electrical connections for high resistance using one of the following methods: 1. Use of low-resistance ohmmeter 2. Perform thermographic survey
56
Perform turns ratio tests at all tap positions Perform power-factor or dissipation-factor tests Measure the resistance of each winding at all tap positions Perform insulation-resistance tests winding-to-winding and each winding-to-ground If core ground strap is accessible, measure core insulation resistance at 500 volts dc Remove a sample of insulating liquid in accordance with ASTM D923 Test for Oil Quality, DGA and Furan

Conclusion
Diagnostic Testing provides a powerful tool for the complete and economic assessment of the transformer condition There is nevertheless still a lack on how to integrate the information obtained by the on-line monitoring into the actions taken onto the service of the transformer The supplementary information obtained by the off-line diagnostic after the detection of an abnormal condition is a worth-full information to be integrated into future on-line monitoring systems
