    Abstract: A system and a method for determining the power loss of a transformer. The method includes measuring voltage and current at the primary side of the transformer, calculating input power by multiplying the measured current and voltage on the primary side of the transformer; measuring voltage and current at the secondary side of the transformer, calculate a nominal error ratio, calculating output power by multiplying the measured current and voltage on the secondary side of the transformer. The method further involves calculating a first corrected power loss by means of multiplying the input power with the nominal error ratio and subtract the output power.

    Abstract: The invention is concerned with a monitoring device, method and computer program product for monitoring a transformer having a tap changer. The transformer has at least two magnetically coupled windings and a tap changer having impedance elements and a changeover switch configured to gradually pass the impedance elements when changing between two tap changer positions during a tap change operation. The method is performed in the monitoring device and including: obtaining waveforms of measured power transmission properties recorded at the first and second transformer sides, processing the recorded waveforms for obtaining at least one waveform (Ploss) representing a tap change operation, and extracting information indicative of the performance of the tap change from the at least one waveform that represents the tap change operation.

    Abstract: The invention is concerned with a protection device, method and computer program product for protecting a transformer including a tap changer and a transformer arrangement including a transformer and a protection device. The transformer has at least two magnetically coupled windings with terminals (MT1, MT2, MT3, MT4) at which power enters and exits the transformer and a tap changer having impedance elements and a switch configured to gradually connect the impedance elements when changing between two tap changer positions during a tap changing operation. The method is performed in the protection device and includes: obtaining measurements of power transmission properties (Iin, Uin, Iout, Uout) at the magnetically coupled windings, estimating energy deposited in the impedance elements during a tap changing operation based on the measured physical properties, comparing the estimated deposited energy with a failure threshold, and protecting the transformer in case the threshold is exceeded, wherein the estimating of the deposited energy includes determining the power loss of the transformer between the terminals (MT1, MT2) where power enters and the terminals (MT3, MT4) where power leaves the transformer and integrating the power loss.
