This paper describes the assessment method of deterioration condition for a power transformer using SFRA. Frequency Response Analysis(FRA) is a method to evaluate the mechanical and geometrical integrity of the core and windings within a power transformer by measuring the electrical transfer functions over a wide frequency range. SFRA is sweep frequency response analyzer for power transformer winding diagnosis. The FRA is a comparative method, that evaluates the transformer condition by comparing the obtained set of FRA results to reference results on the same, or a similar, unit. FRA techniques were widely used and much more sensitive than the traditional and internationally accepted method of impedance measurements, but that work was required on standardization and interpretation. In order to analyze the deterioration condition for power transformer, overvoltage test and mechanical distortion test were carried out. The deterioration condition for power transformer was evaluated by SFRA. It is intended to present the elemental technology of assessment method for power transformer using SFRA.

Transformer is widely used element on power system and industrial area. Especially the transformers installed at power system are exposed to an environment of arbitrary changed. Thus the prediction of degradation and the analysis of response to impulse are important. To conduct those works, the electrical characteristics of system should be analyzed, effectively. But the analysis of electrical characteristic in electric machine level such as pole and pad-mounted transformer is almost no, thus commercial VNA (Vector Network Analyzer) is used to getting the response in wide frequency range. However, the output power of VNA is usually under 10mW, so verification for effectiveness of measuring electrically large component should be conducted, firstly. Next, after getting total S-parameter of transformer, predicting impulse response can be performed in time-domain with circuit simulator. In this paper, it is introduced that verification effectiveness of VNA using transfer function from SFRA (Sweep Frequency Response Analyzer), firstly. Next, total S-parameter, six by six matix form, was built using measured 2 port S-parameter from vector network analyzer. To get the response to impulse which is defined by IEC 60060-1, time-domain simulation is conducted to ADS (Advenced Design System) circuit simulator.

전력용 변압기 운반, 설치, 고장전류 유입 등으로 권선 및 철심의 접지, 권선의 층간단락, 개방, 기계적 변형, 이탈, 구조물의 기계적 손상, 이완 등이 발생해도 현재 보유하고 있는 진단장비만으로는 정확한 이상 판단이 불가하여 변압기 해체 후 확인 하는 현실을 감안하여 변압기 기계적 변형 고장분석이 가능한 장비 도입이 필요한 시점이다. 또한 변압기 등 변전기기 고장 발생시 광범위한 고객 정전 및 복구비용이 발생(년 평균 3건)하고 있어 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 2003년 한전에 도입된 SFRA(Sweep Frequency Response Analyzer) 주파수 반응 분석기의 진단 원리 및 권선변형 진단사례를 소개하고자 한다.
