Hall Effect Sensor Design for Transformer Protection
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThe purpose of this project was to design a sensor circuit that can detect when transformers are experiencing internal faults (turn to turn) or not operating within their normal specifications. Transformers experience failures caused by Internal Arcing, Geomagnetically Induced Currents, Phase to Ground or Phase to Phase Faults, and Magnetic Core Damage. The developed sensor circuit helps detect when the transformer’s performance in compromised. Three situations can be revealed by the sensor; 1.) Normal Operation, 2.) Insipient Damage, 3.) Potential for catastrophic damage. Theoretically analysis is confirmed by a prototype.
