GSU Transformer Upgrade – Tank Hot Spot - Results

Specific losses (original enclosure)

Temp. at 190 MVA,
t
ank flange hot spot = 96°C

Specific losses (new enclosure)

Temp. at 228 MVA,
tank flange hot spot =
72°C

The solution was to move the crossover shorting plate to shift flux induced currents and losses from the tank cover flange to the middle of the tank cover.
