To assess mechanical integrity of a transformer
To detect core displacement and winding deformation
due to :
Large electromagnetic forces from fault current
Transformer transportation and relocation
Winding shrinkage causing release of clamping structure
To detect broken or loosened clamping structure
Hoop Buckling
Shorted turns and open winding

LV R phase shifted widely with reference to other phase in main and tap winding portion
It seems like open circuit.
Trang 9Case study (1):

SFRA LV R phase found abnormal – defect in
tapped winding ( 500Hz to 2 MHz) and open winding ( 5Hz to 100kHz ) with +/- 3 dB
variation.
Problem reflected in low voltage magnetic
balance and DGA ( Arcing ) also.
Based on above abnormal results, decided to
internal inspection of this transformer.

Trang 28 Such kind of unbelievable fault can be identified bySFRA.
In this case SFRA played a vital role as a supporting toolwith DGA to detect the faulty area and to reach up to theroot cause of the fault

SFRA responses clearly indicate faulty conditions of transformer and it
helped for root cause analysis.
SFRA helps to detect fault by just compare with different phase with
different task without having a initial results of same transformer or same design transformer.
SFRA plays vital role as supporting test for final conclusion as its
deliver diversity of information in only one test.
SFRA is very useful tool to detect heavy through fault current leads to
mechanical deformation of core or winding, internal connections and contacts inside transformer.
GETCO has adopted such diagnosis tool while fault as well as in
routine practice while shifting of transformer.
