What is Parallel Operation of Transformers?

Parallel Operation Defined

Parallel operation of transformers is when multiple transformers are connected to increase system reliability, efficiency, and flexibility.

Maximizing Efficiency

Efficient parallel operation is achieved by activating only the transformers necessary to meet current demands, optimizing energy use.

Maintenance and Reliability

Parallel operation allows for maintenance without service interruptions and enhances reliability by providing backup capacity.

Conditions for Operation

Same voltage ratio of transformer.
Same percentage impedance.
Same polarity.
Same phase sequence.

Future-Proofing

This setup allows for easy adjustment to changes in power demand, either increasing or decreasing capacity as needed.

Advantage

To maximize electrical power system efficiency
To maximize electrical power system availability
To maximize power system reliability
To maximize electrical power system flexibility

5 Fault Diagnosis Techniques for Large Power Transformers

5 Fault Diagnosis Techniques for Large Power Transformers

Transformer Fault Diagnosis Methods1. Ratio Method for Dissolved Gas AnalysisFor most oil-immersed power transformers, certain combustible gases are produced in the transformer tank under thermal and electrical stress. The combustible gases dissolved in oil can be used to determine the thermal decomposition characteristics of the transformer oil-paper insulation system based on their specific gas content and ratios. This technology was first used for fault diagnosis in oil-immersed transformers.
