TRANSFORMERS
PROTECTION
Rating of Some Power transformers used.
• Internal Faults:-
1) Electrical Faults : -Faults which cause immediate
serious damage such as phase to earth or phase to
phase faults, short circuits between
turns of HV&LV
windings, etc.
The following relays are employed to protect the
transformer against internal faults.

Figure shown as Bucholz relay connected into the pipe leading to
the conservator tank and arrange to detect gas produced in the
transformer tank. As the gas accumulates for a minor fault
the oil level falls and, with it a float `F' which operates a
mercury switch sounding an alarm. When a more serious
fault occurs within the transformer during which intense
heating takes place, an intense liberation of gases results.
