In modern electrical transmission and distribution systems, power transformers are critical components within the network. In the event that a failure occurs in service, the impact can be far reaching. The majority of mechanical deformation within power transformers is due to short circuit faults. The ageing transformer population increases the likelihood of failure so a reliable diagnostic tools required to determine the remaining life of these assets. Although, frequency response analysis (FRA) has been recently recognized as the most reliable detection tool for mechanical deformation in transformers, in the event of minor fault, the current FRA interpretation approach may not able to detect any variations between healthy and faulty FRA signatures. This paper focuses on FRA tests for power transformer and interpretation of obtained FRA signatures.
