| Popis: | Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) is an Off-line condition monitoring technique for the transformers and is successful, in diagnosing mechanical faults and inter-turn short-circuits. Only limited literature is available for On-line FRA works, and the effect of the transformer’s load on the fault diagnosing capability of FRA has not yet been analysed. Motivated by this research gap, an experimental investigation was done to analyze the effect of load on IFRA based inter-turn short-circuit diagnosis. A single-phase 1 kVA, 240V/240 V transformer supplying R and R-L loads and a three-phase 5 kVA, 440 V/440 V transformer supplying an induction motor at various load levels were tested. Inter-turn short-circuits were emulated in their windings and, the effectiveness of IFRA in diagnosing the same was investigated. Comparisons were made between the frequency response of the loaded transformers in their healthier conditions and emulated fault conditions, based on the transfer function plots and the statistical parameters. Investigations reveal that the loads alter the useful spectrum of IFRA. The frequency response of the healthier transformer itself varies based on the transformer’s load and necessitates a careful focus on the sensitive frequency spectra for effective inter-turn short-circuit diagnosis in loaded transformers. |
