What do you mean by fuzzy
Fuzzy logic is a superset of Boolean logic that has been extended to handle the
concept of partial truth truthvalues between "completely true" and "completely
false“ The essential characteristics of fuzzy logicare as

Fuzzy Sets
A paradigm is a set of rules and regulations which defines boundaries and
tells us what to do to be successful in solving problems within these
boundaries.

How do fuzzy sets differ
from classical sets ?
In classical set theory we assume that all sets rare well-defined (or crisp),
that is given any object in our universe we can always say that object either
is or is not the member of a particular set.

SFRA Working
A low voltage (10V p-p) signal with varying frequency (10Hz to 2MHz) is
injected into the transformer.
The ratio of the two signal gives the frequency response of the
transformer.
This ratio is called the transfer function from which a change in the
geometry of the transformer components can be established.

Mechanical Failure Mechanism
CAUSE:
Electromagnetic Forces due to high current flow (FαI2)
Mechanical shocks during transportation or relocation of the unit
EFFECT:
Insulation damage – Uneconomical to repair
Compressive Failure of Winding (Hoop Buckling)
Spiral tightening – De-rates fault duty
Coil clamping failure
End insulation collapse
05/01/2021 28
Detection Problems
• Dissolved Gas Analysis
Dissolved Gas Analysis will only indicate a problem when the insulation has
been damaged (Usually too late to repair).
Internal Inspections
Internal visual inspections are often inconclusive and require transformers to be
transported offsite. (Costly downtime)
Electrical Tests
Winding failures can usually be diagnosed by various electrical tests such as
TTR, Power Factor etc… (But not always).
05/01/2021 29
Methods
Time-based – current SFRA results will be compared to previous results of
the same unit.
