On-Load Tap Changer (OLTC) forms a vital part of a transformer. Acoustic emission signals have been acquired from OLTC of 230 kV 3 phase power transformers for signature analysis. The acoustic emission signals have been analyzed to characterize the signals with reference to energy and frequency using Discrete Wavelet Transform. Case studies of AE signals obtained from healthy OLTCs have been presented in the paper for probable consideration as reference signals for healthy and normally operating OLTCs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
