The Frequency Response Analysis approach (FRA) is useful in the fault diagnosis of transformers. However, its usefulness in diagnosing any potential sources of Partial Discharge (PD) in transformers has not been thoroughly investigated so far. In this work, the use of Impulse voltage-based FRA (IFRA) in diagnosing inter-turn shorts and potential sources of PD were investigated on a 315 kVA, 11 kV/433 V transformer. Inter-turn shorts and PD sources were emulated and the usefulness of IFRA in their diagnosis was investigated while using switching impulse voltage at different magnitude levels as the test signals. For emulating the inter-turn shorts and the PDs, special tappings were provided on one of the 11 kV windings through the low capacitance bushings. Low voltage impulse was successful in diagnosing the inter-turn shorts, but unsuccessful in identifying the sources of PDs. During the test condition, the test voltage was adjusted with the presence of artificially created PD sources. The frequency response of the transformer before and after the inception of PD was observed and analyzed in this article. The FRA results demonstrated that the switching impulse voltage based IFRA approach at moderate voltages could be useful in diagnosing the presence of the potential sources of PDs.

Power transformers encounter mechanical deformations and displacements that can originate from mechanical forces generated by electrical short-circuit faults, lapse during transportation or installation and material aging accompanied by weakened clamping force. These types of mechanical faults are usually hard to detect by other diagnostic methods. Frequency response analysis, better known as FRA, came about in 1960s (Lech & Tyminski 1966) as a byproduct of low voltage (LV) impulse test, and since then has thrived as an advanced non-destructive test for detecting mechanical faults of transformer windings by comparing two frequency responses one of which serves as the reference from the same transformer or a similar design. This chapter provides a background to the FRA, a brief description about frequency response measuring methods, the art of diagnosing mechanical faults by FRA, and some case studies showing typical faults that can be detected.

Tap Changer

Power transformers are located in the electrical transmission and distribution networks where different voltage levels are needed. The turn ratio of the low voltage and high voltage windings is mechanically controlled by an on-load tap changer or de-energized tap changer. As the tap changer is the transformer’s only moving part, it is highly susceptible to mechanical failure and aging degradation. While some diagnostic tools have been used to determine the mechanical condition of tap changer contacts, not much attention was given to use the frequency response analysis to diagnose the transformer’s tap changers’ mechanical integrity. This paper is taking one step forward into maturing the application of the frequency response analysis (FRA) technique to detect transformer tap changer faults. In this regard, two common tap changer faults are created, and experimental testing for four FRA test configurations is conducted. For a better understanding of the tap changer fault mechanism, an electrical equivalent circuit model is proposed and designed using Simulink. The simulation and implementation of the equivalent circuits using MATLAB\R2018a.
