Assessment of transformer winding displacement faults by frequency response analysis

According to the statistics of transformer accidents from 1995 to 1998, nearly 50% of the accidents were caused by short circuit, and the number is still increasing. In other words, diagnostic test technique on winding displacement is very important, by which hidden troubles can be found in advance,...
