E-lesson: Design of power transformers – e-lesson #8: Short circuit withstand
Hosted by: Aleksandar Lojpur / Intermediate level
The idea behind this series of lectures is to reveal the importance of each design phase and interlinks between them in the transformer life expectation of 30 years and more. This course provides the overview of the main design aspects.
Attend the session to learn about the following:
• Short circuit types
• Short circuit currents
• Short circuit forces
• Short circuit stresses
• Maximum permissible stresses
• Ability to withstand short-circuit
