Determination of nanosecond pulse parameters on transfer function measurement for power transformer winding deformation

Transfer function method is now a widely acceptable tool to diagnose transformer winding deformations. A sweep frequency sine wave generator is often used to excite the different modes of resonance and anti-resonances. However, it is time consuming.

Description
Summary:Transfer function method is now a widely acceptable tool to diagnose transformer winding deformations. A sweep frequency sine wave generator is often used to excite the different modes of resonance and anti-resonances. However, it is time consuming. Nanosecond square wave pulse signal offers an alternative that can serve the same objective. However, as so far, there is no certain criterion for selecting pulse parameters. This paper provides a comprehensive method for the determination of nanosecond square wave pulse parameters for transfer function evaluation of power transformer for winding deformation studies.
