About this document

Short-Circuit Testing of Power Transformers by Martin Butcher is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The ability to withstand a short circuit is recognised more and more as an essential characteristic of power transformers. IEC and IEEE Standards, as well as other national standards specify short-circuit testing and how to check the withstand capability. Unfortunately, however, there is extensive evidence that the matter is not as simple as the standards make it sound. Failures caused by short circuits are still a major cause of transformer outages, though failure rates vary widely in different countr
