Layer Type Windings
Very large “thermal mass” of conductor and insulation between cooling
ducts: difficult to calculate and control the hot spot temperatures
No radial ducts, some axial ducts, most of them just on ends, not all
around

Thermal Performance (cont.)
A four-level criterion has been developed to classify risks to transformers, when there is no
previous dissolved gas history, for continued operation at various combustible gas levels. The
criterion uses both concentrations for separate gases and the total concentration of all
combustible gases (see Table 1 on next slide).
Condition 1: TDCG below this level indicates the transformer is operating satisfactorily. Any
individual combustible gas exceeding specified levels should prompt additional investigation.
Condition 2: TDCG within this range indicates greater than normal combustible gas level. Any
individual combustible gas exceeding specified levels should prompt additional investigation.
Action should be taken to establish a trend. Fault(s) may be present.
Condition 3: TDCG within this range indicates a high level of decomposition. Any individual
combustible gas exceeding specified levels should prompt additional investigation.
Immediate action should be taken to establish a trend. Fault(s) are probably present.
Condition 4: TDCG within the range indicates excessive decomposition. Continued operation
could result in failure of the transformer. Proceed immediately and with caution.

Short Circuit Winding Mechanical Performance
Short circuit forces pulsate at twice system frequency
Major and minor pulses gradually become equal as the offset current decays and the fault current becomes symmetrical

Conductor Telescoping Failure
Design for Short Circuit Duty
Typically a problem for “Layer”
windings
Can happen to “disk” or “helical”
windings
Extent of damage to paper
insulation will determine how soon
a total unit failure will happen
