Condition assessment of power transformers

The high cost and the critical nature of power transformers in power substations makes it is very important to prevent failures and detect problems as early as possible. This presentation reviews the diagnostic and monitoring tests and equipment available to assess the condition of transformers and provide an early warning of potential failure.
