Reliability of power transformers and autotransformers of electric networks

  • Published:
Power Technology and Engineering Aims and scope

Abstract

The failure rate and experience of operation of power network transformers and autotransformers are analyzed. After analysis of the failure rate assemblies with elevated vulnerability to damage are determined and engineering solutions employed by the electrical industry for raising their reliability are described.
