FAQ
Q：Is non-electrical protection the primary protection or the backup protection for a transformer?
A:Generally speaking, non-current-based protection and transformer differential protection are both core forms of protection for transformers and classified as main transformer protection.
Q：What should be done after a trip triggered by transformer gas and temperature protection (non-electrical protection)?
A:First, check the alarm details of transformer gas and temperature protection trips to confirm the inspection scope. Such trips are usually caused by internal transformer faults and require strict caution.
Q：What are the main types of transformer non-electrical protection?
A: Transformer gas and temperature protection, as mainstream non-electrical protections for power transformers, consist of Buchholz protection, oil temperature protection, winding temperature protection, oil level protection and pressure relief protection. They address faults such as gas decomposition, overheating, abnormal liquid level and overpressure inside transformers.
