Wavelet transformation is one of the most popular tools for acoustic signal analysis. It provides good resolution both in time and frequency domains as well as wide choice of mother wavelets - this makes wavelet transformation a choice when flexible approach is required. However, selecting parameters of analysis can be difficult, especially regarding mother wavelet as different mother wavelets have various properties regarding number of vanishing moments and symmetry. This paper presents studies to determine the possibility of on-load tap changer wear detection by applying wavelet transformation. In research, different mother wavelets were selected and their usefulness was examined. Signals to be analyzed were obtained during on-load tap changer operation in different mechanical conditions - simulating devices wear in service. All measurements were performed on model very similar to real industrial on-load tap changer. Tests were conducted in controlled laboratory environment, reducing most of the possible disruptions.

In this paper, we present new voltage mode quadrature oscillator, employing single differential difference transconductance amplifier. The proposed oscillator structure consists of two grounded capacitors and a single resistor. The use of grounded capacitors is particularly attractive for integrated circuit implementation. In this way, the frequency of oscillations can be controlled by the biasing current of transconductance stage. Simulation results agree quite well with the theoretical analysis.

The paper presents the results of vibroacoustic investigations and the measurements of the acoustic pressure level (noise) of a transformer model. The measurements were taken at a full transformer load in two operation conditions: at a producer packeted core and at unpacketed core. Unpacketing consisted in loosing the screws pressing the particular core plates. Mechanical vibrations were registered and the acoustic pressure level was measured. The vibroacoustic analysis results are presented in the form of frequency spectra and the results of the acoustic analysis of the transformer under study are shown by determining corrected values of the acoustic pressure level and by a frequency analysis.

Subject matter of this article concerns the results of research works on the development and use of the vibroacoustic method to evaluate technical state of transformer cores. The article presents obtained measurement results of transformer mechanical vibration for two cases of its operation: with twisted and loosened core. In order to demonstrate negative effects of operating a transformer with a loosened core, this publication presents thermographic images showing temperature distribution on its magnetic core. The article characterises the examined transformer, employed measurement system and methodology of the completed experiment. The vibroacoustic and thermographic measurements were carried out during idle work of the transformer. Core vibration was registered for three measurement axes: 0X, 0Y and 0Z. Completed tests have proven that loosened screws pressing the core cause evident increase in the value of magnetic core vibration acceleration. At the same time, the temperature rises by more than 25%.

This paper presents the preliminary results of the performed experiment, based on common phenomenon of partial discharges. A simple Geiger-Muller counter (DP-66M) was used for measurement of a dose of ionizing radiation, which is accompanied by partial discharges. Values from which the radiation intensity was dependent could be controlled individually: the distance between measurer and source, as well as the voltage generating partial discharges. The obtained results indicate that in the examined phenomenon, significant dose of X-ray radiation is present. According to the Kramers-Kulenkampff theory, it depends also on the atomic number of elements involved. Using MATLAB software, the obtained data were compiled to develop suitable theory for further research study. There was also implemented fuzzification for the fuzzy logic, and the effect was the capability of forecasting radiation doses according to the fixed variables for a given material, where partial discharges were generated.

The paper deals with mathematical modeling of acoustic emission signals which are generated in on load tap changers. In power engineering area acoustic emission method is commonly used for diagnosis purposes. Authors in their research works apply it for detection of defects occurring in on load tap changers, which are important elements of power transformers. The acoustic emission method is based on measurements performed by use of wideband piezoelectric transducers that are mounted on transformer tank surface. The registered signal is then analyzed in the time, frequency, and time-frequency domains or is evaluated with computer expert systems for diagnosis purposes. Depending on indicators device technical condition can be determined. The contribution given by the authors in this paper is proposal of a mathematical model, which describes envelope of the measured acoustic emission signal.

Results of scientific research works considering selection of measuring transducer applied for registration of acoustic emission signals generated by on load tap changers are presented in the paper. During the coupling process acoustic emission signals are generated by: the mechanical setup of tap changer, contacts operation, and other phenomena. For most on load tap changers types, the working medium is insulation oil in which the acoustic wave being formed propagates to the steal tank. There exists a possibility to register acoustic emission signals with a piezoelectric transducer attached to the outer tank surface or with a hydrophone immersed in the oil. Acoustic emission signal obtained in such manner contains information which describes operation of the power tap changer and the selector. A comparative analysis of acoustic emission signals generated by on load tap changers working under laboratory conditions, with applied measuring transducers with different transmittances, is presented in the paper. The comparative analysis was performed in order to determine their suitability for on load tap changers technical condition diagnosis. Based on the results achieved, one transducer which allows the registration of acoustic events generated during on load tap changers operation was selected.

The article presents the results of attempts made to develop a non-invasive diagnostic method of a technical state of a transformer's core based on an analysis of mechanical vibrations registered during the start-up of the transformer analyzed. The paper presents a characteristic of the transformer under study, the measuring systems applied and the method developed for assessing the degree of the core loosening. The original results presented in the paper have been obtained under laboratory conditions during tests conducted on an oil transformer of 200 kVA. The analysis of recorded virboacoustic signals was performed by means of discrete wavelet transform for three different operating cases: the transformer with no core defect, the transformer with loose screws of the magnetic circuit of the upper yoke, and the transformer with completely loosen screws of the beam of the upper yoke and the lower core. The signals have been recorded on two perpendicular measuring axes: 0X and 0Y and their measured values were subject to the wavelet analysis.
