V. CONCLUSION
This paper presents the overload criterions of mineral-oil-
immersed distribution transformers rated 100kVA and less.
We analyze the characteristics of top-oil temperature rising for
mineral-oil-immersed power distribution transformer rated
100kVA and less, manufactured in Korea using the
experiments. The experiments are performed at KERI (Korea

2001. From these experiment, we obtained the overload

factors. These overload factors is obtained from the
conversion of actual load curve into 2-step load curve. Finally,
we present the overload criterions of distribution transformer
for summer and winter season, respectively. The proposed
overload criterions could be used to evaluate the overload
