Popis: Power transformers are constantly exposed to mechanical, thermal and electrical stresses during operation.In this paper, the authors propose an improved aging model of power transformers by adding the impact of mechanical deteriorations. In the current practice,the mechanical deformation and dislocation of the windings and core are not sufficientlydistinguishedas componentsthat influence the aging of the transformer.Hence, the current aging model was expanded with a functional block that containsseveral typicalfailures in order toemphasizetheir impact on thelifetimeof transformers and their aging as well.The authors used the Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) method for the fault detection and location of the mechanical deformations of its active parts. The correlation function is used to determine the level of the detected failure.All presented test results are obtained in real exploitation conditions.
