Protection

The twelfth part of the column written by P. Ramachandran and A. S. Jhala includes a list of IEC/IEEE standards and CIGRE Technical Brochures that transformer engineers can refer to when choosing a suitable protection scheme for a specific application.

 

Robust protection measures, including surge arresters, protective relays, fuses, and surge absorbers, are deployed to ensure the safety and reliability of transformers throughout their service life. In the case of transformers filled with mineral oil, fire protection measures are also necessary. Protection coordination and fault current withstand guides are also available to power engineers for grading the protection levels.
