The document discusses testing and protection of transformers. It provides an overview of different types of transformer tests including winding resistance, polarity, open circuit, short circuit, and load tests. The tests help ensure transformers are properly installed and maintained to prevent failures. Relays use principles like overcurrent, flux, overheating, and differential protection to disconnect transformers during overloads or internal faults. Proper testing is important to minimize unwanted outages and protect the expensive equipment.

TESTING AND PROTECTION

OF
TRANSFORMERS

ABSTRACT
Protection of power transformers is a very challenging problem in power
system relaying. Since it is very important to minimize the frequency and
duration of unwanted outages, this is a high demand imposed on power
transformer protective relays. Various relaying principles have been proposed
and used to protect transformers against different types of faults. Relays that use
over current, flux and overheating principles protect the transformers against
overloads and externally applied conditions. Differential relays protect the
transformers against internal fault.

Transformer failures, when they occur, are usually of a very serious nature,
which may require costly repairs and long downtime. The best assurance against
transformer failure is to ensure that they are properly installed and maintained.
Make sure that the winding resistance test is included when a transformer is
selected. Modern self-contained instruments make testing easy and accurate.
In a transformer protection system, data of voltages and currents
detected at individual terminals of a transformer connected to an electric
power system. The driving point admittances or shunt admittances of the
transformer on the basis of the voltage and current data and predetermined
transfer admittances of the transformer and decides that an internal fault has
occurred in the transformer when the values of the driving point admittances
or shunt admittances deviate from pre-set reference values, thereby
disconnecting the transformer from the electric power system.

In this project, hardware based designed relay system has been


explained. The design implementation and testing of the system are also
presented.
INTRODUCTION
TESTING OF TRANSFORMERS

why we need to test the transformers?


TESTING OF TRANSFORMERS

Types of testing of transformers are

1. WINDING RESISTANCE TEST

2. POLARITY TEST

3. OPEN CIRCUIT TEST

4. SHORT CIRCUIT TEST

5. LOAD TEST
WINDING RESISTANCE TEST
WINDING RESISTANCE TEST

HV side RY= YB= BR=

LV side ry = yb = br =
rn = yn= bn =

The values shall be compared with original test results.


POLARITY TEST

Q WHY THEN DO WE NEED A POLARITY


TEST AND WHAT IS IT ?

A WE REQUIRE A POLATRITY TEST TO


ENSURE THAT ALL SINGLE POLE DEVICES
(FUSES, SWITCHES AND CIRCUIT
BREAKERS) ARE CONNECTED IN THE
PHASE CONDUCTOR ONLY.
