For Transformers lesser than 1000KVA
1. Overcurrent protection at HT(fuses or overcurrent relays)
2. Overcurrent protection at LT (LT Air circuit breaker)
3. Moisture protection (Breather with silica gel)
4. Overburden protection (Temperature gauge)
5. surge protection (surge arrestors)
6. Pressure relieve valves
For transformers equal to or above 1 MVA
1. Overcurrent (IDMT and High set char relays)
2. surge protection (surge arrestors)
3. Oil temperature indicators (alarm + trip)
4. Winding temp indicators (alarm + trip)
5. Oil surge relay
6. Pressure relieve valves
7. sudden pressure relays
8. differential Protection
9. Restricted earth fault protection
10. Overfluxing protection
11. Buchholz relay (alarm + trip)
Also there are various tests that are done as a part of preventive maintenence.
1. winding resistance
2. turns ratio
3. Tan delta
4. Dissolved gas analysis
5. Furon analysis
6. Sweep frequency responce analysis
7. Partial discharge
8. Magnetic balance
10. Megger testing

Answer / soms
for small Xmers(transformers)we use simple protective
devices i.e. fuses,for medium size we use overcurrent
relays, for large size Xmers we use differential protection
scheme recommended .

why do we need to use 3c+3e cable, normally i select only 3c+e cable and i think it is enough. pls explain the usefull of 3e cable ( in this project the earthing system is well done)
what is the purpose of using filters in a protective relaying scheme?
working principle of current sensing relay? how its work?
Why we use 4-20 mA Analog signal for the PLC input? Why not 0-20 mA? Why not 5-25 mA?
plz explain TSM and PSM.with example suppose ct ratio is 4000/5 and tsm is .15 and plug is at 3.75 if fault current is 8000A.so how i find relay oprating time.
