In grid infrastructure, electrical power transformers are defined as primary assets that interface different voltage levels and network segments. They must satisfy grid codes for voltage regulation, reliability indices, and fault performance. Their design is standardized around insulation levels, short-circuit capability, loss targets, and monitoring provisions. They are typically owned and maintained by utilities or transmission operators and are subject to rigorous asset management practices, including condition monitoring, diagnostics, and long-term planning.
