How can the performance of a railway transformer be evaluated in operation?

Performance evaluation involves monitoring key parameters such as load current, voltage levels, temperature, and efficiency. Regular testing and inspections assess insulation integrity, cooling effectiveness, and mechanical condition. Analyzing operational data helps identify trends or anomalies indicating potential issues. Implementing predictive maintenance strategies based on these evaluations can optimize performance, reduce downtime, and extend the transformer’s lifespan. Advanced monitoring systems may provide real-time data for proactive management.
