TRANSFORMER PROTECTION

Objective
To appreciate the importance of protective relays in protecting the transformer. To be able to understand the basic principle of operation and function of protection relays installed in the power transformer. To gain knowledge of power transformer protection.

TRANSFORMER PROTECTION

Introduction
Transformers are a critical and expensive component of the power system. Due to long lead time for repair and replacement of transformers, a major goal of transformer protection is limiting the damage to a faulted transformer. The comprehensive transformer protection provided by multiple function protective relays is appropriate for critical transformers of all applications.

TRANSFORMER PROTECTION

The type of protection for the transformers varies depending on the application and importance of the transformer. Transformers are protected primarily against faults and overloads. The type of protection used should minimize the time of disconnection for faults within the transformer and to reduce the risk of catastrophic failure to simplify eventual repair.

TRANSFORMER PROTECTION

Any extended operation of the transformer under abnormal condition such as faults or overloads compromises the life of the transformer, which means adequate protection should be provided for quicker isolation of the transformer under such condition.

TRANSFORMER PROTECTION

Transformer Failures Winding failures due to short circuit (turn- turn faults, phase-phase faults, phase-ground and open winding) Core Faults (Core insulation failure, shorted laminations) Terminal failures (open leads, loose connections and short circuits) OLTC failures ( mechanical, electrical, short circuit and overheating) Abnormal operating conditions (overfluxing, overloading and overvoltage) External fault.
