Abstract

The lifetime of the transformers is largely affected by overheating of windings and then the insulation ages and it reduces its electrical insulating properties. Therefore, the proper placing of the relevant parts of the transformer can help to ensure more uniform distribution of temperature field and thus to increase the lifetime of the transformer.
