A system and method for tuning a transformer is provided. A transformer fixture may connect a switching network to a plurality of inductors of a transformer. At least one computing device may calculate a target number of turns for a primary coil and a secondary coil of the transformer based on a frequency response of the transformer. The switching network may connect the inductors of the transformer together in a pattern that results in the primary coil and secondary coil having the target number of turns.
摘要:
A transformer diagnosis apparatus and method which can advantageously be used for on-line diagnosis of a transformer, and by which transformer properties may be monitored and/or determined. The diagnosis method includes collecting, for at least two different transformer loads, measurements of a current being indicative of the transformer load, as well as measurements of at least one further transformer AC signal. The method further includes deriving, from the collected measurements, at least two values of a quantity which depends on a transformer property as well as on transformer load; and determining, from the derived values, a set of coefficient(s) of a relation for how the quantity is expected to vary with transformer load. The method further includes using the determined coefficient(s) in performing a diagnosis of the transformer.

A tester for testing a transformer is provided. The tester comprises a primary voltmeter and a plurality of secondary voltmeters. The tester may also comprise an ammeter in series with a voltage source configured to apply voltage to the transformer. The primary voltmeter is configured to measure voltage induced across a primary winding of the transformer, while the secondary voltmeters may simultaneously measure voltage outputs at secondary windings of the transformer. The tester is configured to calculate ratios, saturation curves, and knee points for multiple winding combinations based on the measurements simultaneously obtained by the ammeter and the primary and secondary voltmeters.

A preferred embodiment of a transformer includes a core, and a primary and a secondary winding positioned on the core so that the primary and secondary windings are inductively coupled when the primary winding is energized. The transformer also includes a sensor for measuring an operating parameter of the transformer, an audible signaling device, and an actuator for activating the audible signaling device when the operating parameter reaches a predetermined value.

An apparatus and method for determining the number of turns on a sample coil are disclosed. An alternating current of substantially constant amplitude is passed through a primary winding turn which is coupled to the sample coil and also through a primary winding turn which is coupled to a standard coil of known turns count, inducing currents in the sample coil and in the standard coil in inverse proportion to their respective turns counts. These induced currents are commutated into pulsating direct currents that are fed into a ratiometric current meter. This meter produces a measurement output corresponding to the ratio of the current induced in the standard coil to the current induced in the sample coil. This measurement output is displayed on a calibrated readout device as an indication of the number of turns on the sample coil. In addition, means are provided for indicating coil discontinuity and inverted coil phase.

A monitoring system includes an array of optical sensors disposed within a transformer tank. Each optical sensor is configured to have an optical output that changes in response to a temperature within the transformer tank. An analyzer is coupled to the array of optical sensors. The analyzer is configured to determine a sensed temperature distribution based on the sensed temperature. The sensed temperature distribution is compared to an expected distribution. Exterior contamination of the transformer tank is detected based on the comparison.
