Advanced on-site diagnosis of power transformers

This paper discusses the recently developed analysis method for service aged power transformers. This is a complete approach to assess the condition of a power transformer, both the on-load tap changer as well as the transformer windings. This paper also presents several case studies of tap changer defects that are discovered with the dynamic resistance measurement function.
