Course Description

The course gives a basic knowledge of the operation of a transformer in a power system. The influences of the regulating transformer on voltages’ magnitudes and phase angle control in the power system are worked out. Faults which happen inside and outside the transformer and the influence of the power system on short circuit current magnitudes are analyzed. The problems of switching–in and overexcitation are analyzed. Transformer insulating levels and overvoltages in transformers are elaborated. The selection of transformer overvoltage protection is explained. Transformer models for analyses of steady states and transients are presented. The selection of characteristics of the voltage and current metering transformers is worked out. The protections of a power transformer and its coordination with the other protections in the power system are defined. Special protection functions of a transformer in transmission and distribution system and power plants.
