Abstract

 

In this paper, transformer thermal and loss of life models was studied. Based on the thermal model adopted by International Standards, small improvements to increase model accuracy are presented and a comparative study of resulted accuracy under different load and ambient temperature profiles was performed.

Key words: Transformer thermal, loss of life models, estimate thermal parameters.
