Transformer winding mechanical fault diagnosis method based on closing transient acoustic vibration signal

Abstract

The current conventional transformer winding fault diagnosis method mainly extracts the vibration signal through the time-frequency analysis method, which leads to poor diagnosis due to the lack of analysis of the transformer winding state. In this regard, a transformer winding mechanical fault diagnosis method based on the closing transient acoustic vibration signal is proposed. The closing vibration signals of the transformer in the normal and loose winding states are collected separately, the transformer winding force situation is analysed, and the transformer fault signal characteristics are extracted and combined with a fault classifier to construct a fault diagnosis model. In the experiments, the proposed method is verified for fault identification. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a high correct rate when used to identify different types of transformer faults, and has a more desirable fault diagnosis performance.
