Whitepaper: Through-Fault Current Monitoring to Plan Proper Maintenance

One of the leading causes of power transformer failures in the Italian transmission grid has been linked to unpredictable external events—such as over-voltages, lightning strikes, and through fault currents (TFCs). In particular, TFCs are suspected to indirectly cause winding displacement in transformers and electrical failures in transformers connecting high-voltage (HV) and medium-voltage (MV) networks.

By downloading our whitepaper, you’ll gain insights into a TFC monitoring system and the findings of a trial conducted on a TERNA HV/MV transformer. The objective of the trial was to detect over-currents and reveal how often these critical events go unnoticed by utilities.
