Why Online Partial Discharge Analysis Monitor is Unnecessary for Power Transformer
Transformer Cooling Classes
Voltage and current transformation in a power transformer involves a significant quantity of electrical energy losses. Such losses are the losses in the core and copper winding which are dissipated into heat.

What is the “8 degree C (Celsius) rule”?
The “8 deg Celsius rule” (”8 ° C Rule”) is a known “rule of thumb” for estimating the thermal life of insulation of a transformer and thereby the transformer life itself.

How to Compute The Power Transformer Resistance And Reactance Given The Percent Impedance?
If you happen to see a power transformer nameplate, it is very rare (or impossible) to see the value for the resistance and reactance for the equivalent circuit of that transformer. The only valuable information that you can get from the transformer nameplate for this purpose is the percent impedance (%Z) and the voltage rating.

What are the Different Types of Transformers?
Transformer is composed of two windings (or three windings for three-winding transformer or a single core three phase transformer) whose main purpose is to step-up or step down an AC voltage and AC current. Transformers can be called differently depending on its function, capacity, and construction;

Open Circuit Test, Not Applicable For Transformers in High Voltage Application?
Many of new electrical engineers may thought that the open circuit test to determine the no load loss of a power transformer is always applicable to any kind of transformer. In the case of the high voltage application transformers, this is false. In high voltage application transformers, the number of turns of the high voltage […]
