Power transformers are an important factor for power transmission and cause fatal losses if faults occur. Various diagnostic methods have been applied to predict the failure and to identify the cause of the failure. Typical diagnostic methods include the IEC diagnostic method, the Duval diagnostic method, the Rogers diagnostic method, and the Doernenburg diagnostic method using the ratio of the main gas. However, each diagnostic method has a disadvantage in that it can't diagnose the state of the power transformer unless the gas ratio is within the defined range. In order to solve these problems, we propose a diagnosis method using ELM based intelligent algorithm and fuzzy membership function. The final diagnosis is performed by multiplying the result of diagnosis in the four diagnostic methods (IEC, Duval, Rogers, and Doernenburg) by the fuzzy membership values. To show its effectiveness, the proposed fault diagnostic system has been intensively tested with the dissolved gases acquired from various power transformers.

Power transformers are increasingly becoming more significant in the advancement of electronic equipment. A high-performance, low-cost core material is necessary in order th come up with power transformers in the smallest and lightest scale possible and with low power requirements. In this study, we added V$_2$O$_{5}$ and CaCo$_3$to Mn-Zn ferrite to produce a high-performance low-cost core material. The compositions used were MnO : ZnO : Fe$_2$O$_3$= 37 : 11 : 52 mol%. The materials were sintered at 125$0^{\circ}C$ for three hours. Initial permeability was measured at 0.1MHz. At 200mT, power loss was measured by changing the temperature at 25KHz, 50KHz, 100KHz. When we added 0.lwt% and 0.1%wt% of V$_2$O$_{5}$와 CaCo$_3$, respectively we obtained 405 405KW/㎥ at 200mT, 100KHz, 6$0^{\circ}C$. We tan reduce eddy current loss as a primary loss of high frequency by adding a small amount of V$_2$O$_{5}$와 CaCo$_3$. This reduces power loss in the power transformersormers

In this paper a novel cascaded transformer multilevel inverter is proposed. Each basic unit of the inverter includes two DC sources, single phase transformers and semiconductor switches. This inverter, which operates as symmetric and asymmetric, can output more number of voltage levels in the same number of the switching devices. Besides, the number of gate driving circuits is reduced, which leads to circuit size reduction and lower power consumption in the driving circuits. Moreover, several methods to determination of transformers turn ratio in proposed inverter are presented. Theoretical analysis, simulation results using MATLAB/SIMULINK and experimental results are provided to verify the operation of the suggested inverter.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in the environmental conservation. Accordingly, problems related to the audible noise of transformers have became more frequent. Therefore, it is urgent to find a fundamental solution about the audible noises in the substations. This paper described a sort of fundamental solution to solve the noise problem. As a fundamental solution, we suggested the proper audible noise level of transformers through noise prediction in the substation construction phase. And we applied the low noise transformers which have the predicted noise level. As the result, we are able to satisfy the noise regulation through measuring 43.6dBA at the boundary of substation. It is confirmed that the average error rate of prediction was within 3 percent.

New circuit D-Q transformation concept is introduced to analyze AC converters such as inverters, rectifiers and cyclo-converters with ease. The equivalent linear time invariant circuit is obtained by substituting switches with equivalent turn-ratio variable transformers and changing balanced AC reactors into equivalent DC reactors combined by gyrators. This circuit enables us to utilize the powerful linear system analysis techniques such as Laplace transform otherwise which could not be applied to the time varying switching systems. Direct substitution of switches of DC converters with transformers is shown as a preliminary. Then the modeling procedure is shown for a controlled rectifier-inverter circuit. Finally an analysis example is proposed for a buck-boost inverter and the result is compared with the conventional approach. This approach is applicable to all AC converter families to determine the AC transfer functions and the DC operating points. It is identified that the switching systems are equivalent to the RLC filter circuits with transformers and gyrators.

We describe the characteristic of LVI test system and methods to detect the deformation of windings in the power transformers. As the front rise time of recurrent-surge generator pulse less than 1000ns and the peak value of pulse is about 500V, we have the good results of detecting winding deformation in the LVI test of transformer. And we discuss the application of LVI test method and the condition of RSG pulse through results of in one and three pole transformers under Lab. tests.

The number of transformers and the size of transformers in inverter using 3-phase transformer could be reduced compare with a multi-level inverter using single phase transformer. but still the 3-phase transformer inverter needs many switches. In this study, we proposed the isolated multi-level inverter using 3-phase transformers and common arm. Also, the equal-area method is used to calculate conduction angle with switching frequency equal to output fundamental frequency and it can reduce harmonics component of output voltage and switching loss. Finally, We tested multi-level inverter to clarify electric circuit and reasonableness through Matlab simulation and experiment by using prototype inverter.

In this paper, we proposed the isolated multi-level inverter using 3-phase transformers. It makes possible to use a single DC power source due to employing low frequency transformers. In this inverter, the number of transformer could be reduced comparing with an exiting 3-phase multi-level inverter using single phase transformer. Also, using phase angle control method with switching frequency equal to output fundamental frequency, harmonics component of output voltage and switching losses can be reduced. Finally, we made a prototype inverter to clarify the proposed electric circuit and reasonableness of control signal.

Economical consumption of energy, longer life of lamps, higher lighting comfort and new aesthetic of illumination is subject of numerous research and development works. The halogen lamps are an example of positive solution some of above mentioned problems. The electronic transformers are more frequent used for their supply. In comparison with conventional transformers they have less weight, less volume and 60% less power losses. Their advantages are particular visible, when the hybrid technique is applied.

For the $Y-Y-{\Delta}$ transformers operated in parallel, there exist two kinds of the circulating currents i.e. between the tanks and between the banks of the delta side. The proposed algorithm estimates the two circulating currents in the transformers in parallel in an ultra high voltage system. As the circulating current between the tanks is 90 deg out of phase of the load current, it is estimated by decomposing the line current into the component 90 deg out of phase of the load current. The circulating current between the banks in the delta side is estimated from the delta winding current and the line currents. The performance of the proposed algorithm is investigated when the impedances of the two transformer tanks are different or the taps of the on-load tap changer of the transformers are mismatched temporarily. Test results indicate that the algorithm can estimate the two kinds of the circulating currents successfully for both cases.
