Abstract
The most important equipment utilized by power systems are transformers, which are passive electrical devices suitable for the transfer of electrical energy from one circuit to another which is associated with Electromagnetic (EM) induction. These equipment are important to help maintain network stability and reliability but despite these advantages, they still exhibit problems due to numerous factors such as overloading, poor dielectric strength, bad insulation, thermal degradation which in turn cause abrupt power outages or results in a major electrical system failure. Unfortunately, transformer users are having difficulty keeping an eye on how distribution transformers (DT) are performing when they are being used which contributes to outages. This paper focused on the performance analysis of a DT and the approach which helps to mitigate the difficulties of identifying load imbalance or overloaded DT to provide long-lasting and trouble-free services for power consumers, using Mansard place 1000 KVA, 11/0.415 KV Distribution Transformer (DT) as a case study to obtain the on-load parameters. The (Fluke 435 series II) Power Quality and Energy Analyzer (PQEA) was the equipment utilized to ascertain the reliability measurements of the DT and the experimental method was carried out on the second terminal connection as regards to IS 1180 standard.
