Description / Abstract:
INTRODUCTION
This Guide has been prepared to aid in the effective application
of relays and other devices for the protection of power
transformers. It supplements information that was previously
published in a Committee Report titled "Protection of Power
Transformers, 1962 Relays Committee Survey of Practices."
(Reference 2.1.2)
This Guide reviews the general philosophy and economic
considerations involved in transformer protection, describes the
types of faults that have been experienced, and discusses technical
problems with such protection, including current transformer
behavior under fault conditions. The various types of electric,
mechanical, and thermal protective devices are described.
Associated problems such as fault clearing and re-energizing
considerations are also discussed. Emphasis in the Guide is placed
on practical applications rather than basic theory which may be
obtained from several good references in the Bibliography.
