A fundamental approach to transformer thermal modeling. I. Theory and equivalent circuit.

A fundamental approach to transformer thermal modeling. I. Theory and equivalent circuit.

A simple equivalent circuit to represent the thermal heat flow equations for power transformers is presented. Key features are the use of a current source analogy to represent heat input due to losses, and a nonlinear resistor analogy to represent the effect of air or oil cooling convection currents...
