OPTIMUM TRANSFORMER COOLING CONTROL WITH FIBER OPTIC TEMPERATURE SENSORS

Cooling control of power transformers is traditionally provided by a winding temperature indicator (WTI) that is based on a measurement of the top-oil temperature and a simulation of the winding hottest spot temperature. This method has some drawbacks and utilities are now considering the application of fiber optic temperature sensors for this critical function.
