Substation Fault-Tree analysis for 2 MVA Transformer

Point of cause

Fault Name

Probable Causes

Measurring equipment faulty Overloading Cooling system Oil quility(slugged Oil) Winding 1 /OIL temperature 1 Transformer tripped High circulating current durring parallel with other transformer High ambient temperature Low Oil level Short circuited core

WTI control tripp circuit Internal short circuit Lightning over voltage Overloading Oil quility(slugged Oil) Loose contact in jumpers Unbalanced voltage due tap switch defect Bushing flash over due to dust Aging of Insulation Internal short circuit or arcing

Symtoums Counter measure

Replace WTI gauge & check faulty gauge and found error in measurment Reduce load or divert load Check radiator and all butterfly valves are opens Filter Oil to remove sludge High winding temperature Adjust tapping so that the voltage are equal Improper ventilation. Provide additional ventilation Check oil level and topup oil if required Test for exciting current & noload loss.If high contact to OEM

Check WTI tripp circuit. Check Oil DGA and contact OEM Provide adequate lightning protection & contact OEM Reduce load or divert load & contact OEM Filter Oil to remove sludge Winding failure Lower oil and check jumpers contact Lower oil and check tap switch contact Clean bushing porcelains completely Test for Tendelta test and contact to OEM Check Oil DGA and contact OEM
