Failure Diagnostics of Electrical Power Transformers - Paperback

by Hemchandra Shertukde (Author)

Failure Diagnostics of Electrical Power Transformers by Hemchandra M. Shertukde is a comprehensive guide to diagnosing and preventing failures in electrical power transformers. With decades of research and field experience, the author presents advanced diagnostic techniques to enhance reliability and longevity.

The book covers key methodologies such as Gas-in-oil (GIO) and Digital Gas Analysis (DGA) for detecting incipient faults, Partial Discharge (PD) testing using acoustic and electrical methods, Infrared thermography for identifying thermal anomalies, and Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) for assessing mechanical integrity.

Rich with real-world case studies, the book provides step-by-step guidance on both online and offline diagnostic techniques. It explores cutting-edge tools like MATLAB, Simulink, and FLIR cameras for comprehensive fault analysis. Drawing from over 30 years of global field applications, the author delivers practical insights to help engineers and industry professionals safeguard transformers, reduce downtime, and extend equipment life.

Whether you are an engineer, researcher, or energy expert, this definitive resource equips you with the knowledge to tackle transformer challenges effectively.
