Transformer protection

Power transformers are critical in the power grid. They have a long lead
time for repair and replacement. Consequently, transformer protection
has to limit the damage to a faulted transformer. Some protection
functions, such as over-excitation protection and temperature-based
protection can identify operating conditions that may cause transformer
failure.

Failures in transformers can be classified into:

 Winding failures due to short circuits (turn-turn faults, phase-phase
faults, phase-ground, open winding)
 Core faults (core insulation failure, shorted lamination)
 Terminal failures (open leads, loose connections, short circuits)
 On-load tap changer failures (mechanical, electrical, short circuit,
overheating)

ABB's transformer protection relays are used for protection, control,

measurement and supervision of power transformers, unit and step-up
transformers, including power generator-transformer blocks in utility and
industry power distribution networks. The relays provide main protection
for two-winding power transformers and power generator-transformer
blocks.
