Implementing the concept of a “smart furnace transformer” should stipulate its information
support throughout its life cycle. This requires improving techniques for estimating the …

The power transformer is a key element in a power system and its condition needs to be
monitored and evaluated. However, subject to electrical, thermal, and mechanical stresses …

The ultimate life of a power transformer is critically governed by the condition of its insulation
paper which undergoes thermal degradation during the operation. A thermal model has …

In this research work, performed a partial discharge test on thermally aged liquids and solid
insulating materials for analysing the withstand ability of insulating oil under applied …

Two lifetime distributions derived from Perks׳ mortality rate function, one with 4 parameters
and the other with 5 parameters, for the modeling of bathtub-shaped failure rates are …

As a potential insulation condition assessment technique for the field transformer, the
correlation of the furan, or more specifically 2-furfural (2-FAL) measurement in oil and the …

The health of the transmission power transformers in the power system networks is critical to
the reliability of electricity supply. Knowing the precise life expectancy of the transmission …

This paper presents the degradation testing results of a type of planar transformer under
accelerated thermal conditions. The likely failure mechanisms are an-alyzed. Thermal …

This study investigated transformer loadings and failure rate in the Onitsha Electricity
Distribution Network by using the Electrical Transient Analysis Program (ETAP) software …

As large proportions of power transformers are approaching or have exceeded their design
life, concerns have aroused at their impact on the reliability of power networks, and forward …
