SYSTEM FOR PREDICTION AND PREVENTION OF ELECTRIC TRANSFORMER FAILURES

摘要

The present application relates to systems for detection of partial discharges in a power transformer. In embodiments, the systems utilize fiber optic acoustic sensors to monitor the pressure waves associated with partial discharges and localize the discharges using appropriate measurement and analysis software. The present application provides systems and methods that meet the needs identified above. In embodiments, systems for detection of a partial discharge in a power transformer are provided.
