A simple means of protection of a powerful single-phase transformer with integral magnetic transformers has been suggested. The protection has a high sensitivity to the interwinding failure and is based on the measurements of unsymmetry of the leakage magnetic fluxes of transformer windings. This magnetic unsymmetry is determined by the difference of electromotive forces of windings of two magnetic transformers placed symmetrically with respect to the symmetry plane of the protected transformer. It has been suggested to produce the magnetic transformers in the form of a single-layer winding with an alternating pitch, which is wound around a textolite round or rectangular body. The length of a magnetic transformer is taken to be equal to the length of a magnetic core, which allows one to provide independence of protection sensitivity on the location of closed turns on the transformer rod. To measure the difference of the emf of magnetic transformers, the circuit of comparison with a responsive element in the form of a TT-40/0.2 or RT1-P/0.15 current relay has been used. Methods to determine a trigger threshold and sensitivity of the protection to interwinding failure as well as to ironwork failure have been suggested.
