Application of Support Vector Machines to Locate Minor Short Circuits in Transformer Windings

Turn-to-turn short circuit fault is one of the most important failures in transformer windings. Turn-to-Turn fault can be occurred due to removal of insulation between winding turns. Early detection of Turn-to-Turn fault (high impedance short circuit) can prevent a direct short circuit. Frequency Response Analysis (FRA) as a well-known method, introduced for transformer winding mechanical defect recognition, is able to recognize the turn-to-turn...
