Modeling of a Power Transformer Winding for Deformation Detection Based on Frequency Response Analysis

The paper presents a mathematical model of disc-type power transformer winding for frequency response analysis (FRA) based on traveling wave and multiconductor transmission line theories. Each disc of the model is described by traveling wave equations, which are connected to each other in a form of multiconductor transmission line model. The model is applied to FRA simulation in order to study winding axial and radial deformation and its delectability. Comparison of the simulated winding deformation cases with the reference FRA traces is given and discussed to explore the potentials of the proposed model for winding fault detection.
