Abstract
Most transformer diagnosis methods can only be performed off-line when the transformer is taken out of service. This study is specifically focused on the V-I locus method for real-time transformer active part evaluation over the cloud environment and assessment of captured data through cloud computing. Experiments are carried out on a test setup to study turn-to-turn short circuit fault created on small transformers. Transformer mechanical fault recognition is discussed and the voltage/current technique is evaluated. Data obtained from practical measurements is analysed over cloud environment and assessment of the transformer condition is performed via application on mobile device. Also, protection relay connected to the transformer can be activated via cloud-based data assessment.
