ABSTRACT

Transformer is an important equipment in the electric power system, especially in

the distribution of electrical energy. The transformer must be maintained so that it
can last long according to the age that it should. Transformer age will be reduced
due to overloading, high loading can cause an increase in hotspot temperatures
and can damage insulation. An increase in hotspot temperature that exceeds the
reference standard of 98 ° C will cause the transformer shrinkage life value to be
higher so that the remaining life of the transformer will decrease. Based on SPLN
D3.002-1.2007 and standard IEEE Guide for loading mineral oil-immersed
Transformers and step voltage regulator C57.91-2011 the life of the transformer is
set for 20.55 years (7500.75 days). Distribution transformer used ONAN type
cooler. From the results of calculations on the distribution transformer, the value of
the age loss for the transformer on the sp185 substation is 0.12752332 hours for 5
days or 0.0000701%. So that the transformer has the highest loading only on
March 24, 2019, the life of the transformer can reach 2028.6 and 9.6 years remain.
