External Short - Circuit of Power Transformer:-

The short - circuit may occur in two or three phases of electrical power system. The level of fault current is always
high enough. It depends upon the voltage which has been short - circuited and upon the impedance of the circuit up
to the fault point. The copper loss of the fault feeding transformer is abruptly increased. This increasing copper loss
causes internal heating in the transformer. Large fault current also produces severe mechanical stresses in the
transformer. The maximum mechanical stress occurs during first cycle of symmetrical fault current.

High Voltage Disturbance in Power Transformer:-

High Voltage Disturbance in Power Transformer is of two kinds,

(1) Transient Surge Voltage

(2) Power Frequency over Voltage

Transient Surge Voltage:-

High voltage and high frequency surge may arise in the p....
