    Design of distribution transformers – e-lesson #10: Transient and risk analysis

    DoDT course - e-lesson #10 - illustration 850 x 400 px
    Course: Intermediate level

    Hosted by: Mario Salano / Intermediate level

    This lesson on transient and risk analysis is important for understanding power distribution transformers. Transformers are critical in electrical systems, so ensuring their reliability is key. The instructor will explain specialized indices used to assess a transformer's condition and support decisions about its future.
    You'll learn about transient phenomena like sudden changes in voltage, frequency, or load that can cause mechanical stresses, voltage distortions, and dangerous overheating. Protecting against transient overvoltages, both externally and internally, is a key strategy discussed.
    The instructor will introduce risk analysis principles that consider failure probability and consequences to guide lifecycle management. Understanding common transformer problems provides important context, with the health index emerging as a crucial metric for evaluating condition and informing maintenance or replacement plans.
    This lesson provides a technical foundation on the transient behaviors and risk management approaches essential for working with power distribution transformers.

    About the author

    Mario Salano

    Mario Salano

    Mr. Salano’s expertise in the field of power transformers comes from a well established engineering skills acquired in “Salano transformers”, renowned Italian company that manufactured line-frequency power transformers for Italian power utilities. While inheriting the company from his father, Sig. Mario Salano used his vast engineering skills and he managed to maintain the company in rough period of seventies, adding new technologies and novel approaches to traditional values and products of “Salano transformers”.

    His current interests include high-efficiency distribution transformers, the impact of nonlinear loads on power transformers, novel materials for transformer cores and also high-frequency power transformers for the use in conjunction with power electronics topologies.
