dc.description.abstractTransformers are the most important equipment used in power systems. It ensures network stability and reliability. Transformer fails over time due to several factors such as overload, poor insulation, cellulose deterioration, poor dielectric strength of the oil, etc. However, transformer owners are finding it difficult to monitor the performance of distribution transformers (DT) in their place of application which results into system failure. Analyses of this distribution transformer performance required that a distribution transformer be put on-load and the secondary terminals link to Power Quality and Energy Analyzer equipment (Fluke 435 Series II). This paper presents a methodology of carrying out an experimental set-up of on-load reliability measurements of the two distribution transformers, 500 kVA and 300 kVA, 11/0.415 kV as a case study. Recommendations for the operations and maintenance engineers in charge to comply are discussed. This approach using the prescribed power quality equipment gives a reliable experimental method of evaluating the performance of distribution transformers. • Maintaining the selected distribution transformer on – load prior to and during the experiment. • The setting of an experimental circuit to determine the operational parameters involving DT connection to Power Quality and Energy Analyzer (PQEA) equipment. • It utilizes a personal computer to download the measured parameters for graphical and statistics analysis.
