What are the ways of protecting the transformer?

Answer:

Transformer protection is commonly used to protect the internal fault of the main protection of gas and differential. Backup protection is quick and overcurrent. There are semi-insulating structure of the neutral point over-voltage protection (arrester), oil temperature alarm.
First, the gas protection: to protect the transformer internal short circuit and oil surface failure. Second, differential protection, current quick-break protection: to protect the transformer winding or lead-out phase of the phase-to-phase short circuit, large ground current system grounding short circuit and winding turn short circuit. Third, over-current protection: to protect the external phase short circuit, and as a gas protection and differential protection (or current quick-break protection) backup protection. Four, zero sequence current protection: protection of large ground current system external single-phase ground short circuit. 5, overload protection: to protect the symmetrical overload, only acting on the signal. Six, over-excitation protection: to protect the transformer over-excitation does not exceed the allowable limit.
Large transformer main protection is differential and gas, backup protection including temperature, quick overcurrent and so on!
