Estimating overpressures in pole-type distribution transformers. II. Prediction tools.

Low-impedance faults are difficult to contain from the point of view of cover retention and tank rupture in pole-type distribution transformers. When evaluating a transformer's containment capabilities, one needs to consider two aspects: the overpressure caused by an arc of given parameters and...
