Distribution Transformer Loss Costs

A car owner must make some important decisions when purchasing a new vehicle—particularly if he or she has not bought one in decades. The features of the hundreds of 2015 models available can seem overwhelming. The budget-conscious owner, considering factors such as fuel efficiency,...

Protection of Electrical Power Transformers

INTRODUCTION
In most large electrical systems, generators and power transformers are the two most expensive pieces of equipment. In addition to the capital cost of purchase, these two key devices are also the most critical to continuous and reliable operation of the system.
Consider, for example, the main incoming power transformer of a large industrial plant. Failure of that transformer can result in production losses reaching millions of dollars. If the transformer requires repair or...

Advancements in Dissolved Gas Analysis: Data Quality

IntroductionThere is more to DGA interpretation than comparing the latest gas concentrations to limits in a table or plotting them in a triangle or pentagon to identify the apparent fault type. We have found that the whole DGA history of a transformer must be considered when interpreting its most...


The Role of AI and Machine Learning in Predicting Transformer Faults

AI and Machine Learning can predict transformer faults by analyzing dissolved gas data, thermal patterns, and vibration trends to identify insulation degradation, detect anomalies, and prevent costly power transformer failures before they occur. Why AI Integration into Transformer Diagnostics...
