Protective Relay Frustrations

Solving misoperation with line parameter measurements BY WILL KNAPEK, OMICRON USA Between 80 to 90 percent of all power system faults involve ground. Many protective relaying schemes depend on ground distance protection to accurately sense and locate ground faults on multi-terminal sub-transmission...

Radiator Fin(s) Leak Repair

Radiator fins are notorious for leaking at various locations. One of which is where the fins are attached (welded) to the horizontal bottom-run header. Measurements are taken so a weir box can be installed to cover the fin(s) that are leaking. It is preferred the weir box will cover above the...

Transformer Core Grounds

Transformer core grounds: a different path to maintaining insulation systems BY JAMES WHITE, Shermco Industries, Inc. Power transformers are usually supplied with a ground from the core of the transformer to the tank (earth/ground). Smaller, dry-type transformers may not have this ground, but it...

Power Transformers Health Check

Power transformers are static electric machines used to step-up or step-down voltage in electric power applications. The capital cost of a power transformer in the range of 100MVA can be $1M or more and by the time it is under operation, the price is increased. The average age of installed large...

The Role of AI and Machine Learning in Predicting Transformer Faults

AI and Machine Learning can predict transformer faults by analyzing dissolved gas data, thermal patterns, and vibration trends to identify insulation degradation, detect anomalies, and prevent costly power transformer failures before they occur.

Why AI Integration into Transformer Diagnostics Matters

Applies machine learning to transformer data for predictive fault detection.
Analyzes DGA, temperature, and vibration trends for early anomaly alerts.
Enhances reliability through automated, data-driven maintenance decisions.

The Shift Toward Predictive Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI)...
