what is the function of buchhos rely in transformer

Answer Posted / ilononurb

Buchholz is a gas actuated relay which response if there is
any abnormality inside the transformer. Ex. If there a
incipient fault happens in transformer winding. arc causes
decomposition of oil that contains more hydrogen gas which
being light rise upward to bocholz relay. The gas is
collected to upper side of the relay. therby oil level drop
down in the B-relay that tilt the mercury switch that close
the alarm circuit.B-relay gives an alarm so that the
transformer can be disconected before the incipient fault
grows in to serious one.

A 100 kVA , 400 v/250 kv testing transformer has 8% leakage reactance and resistance on 100 KVA base . A cable has to be tested at 500 kv using the above transformer as a resonant transformer at 50 hz . if the charging current of the cable at 500 kv is 0.4 A find the series inductance required . Assume 2% resistance for the inductor to be used and the connecting leads . Neglect dielectric loss of hte cable . what will be the input voltage to the transformer ?
