Abstract

Interturn faults are a critical problem in power transformers that can eventually escalate into catastrophic faults and probably result in an overall network failure. Also, failures in transformer windings are still a major cause of transformer outages, and failure rates vary widely between different countries and systems, depending on many factors. Therefore, in this work, interturn faults with various levels of severity were imposed on the winding of a 120 VA, 24/125 V dry type transformer to diagnose it. The obtained signals during the experiments are processed using the Wavelet Transform and correlation modes. This technique only takes into account the high frequency information produced during the energization of a winding with interturn faults.
