Frequency response analysis is the technique whereby a sinusoidal test signal is used to measure points on the frequency response of a transfer function or impedance function. Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA) testing provides insight into the mechanical and electrical integrity of transformers.
Main Purpose of SFRA Test: Transformer Core displacement Winding displacement for both rotor and transformer Broken or loosen clamp connections Inter turn short circuit Internal short circuit Winding to Core Earth fault Winding Open circuit condition
A coil having large number of turns of fine wire is wound on the middle limb of the shunt magnet. This coil is known as pressure or voltage coil and is connected across the supply mains. The voltage coil produces a high ratio of inductance to resistance.
When voltage changes occur in rapid succession, with magnitudes large enough to cause lighting level variations. The human eye-brain response is most sensitive to periodic r.m.s. voltage changes that occur at around 8 - 10 cycles per second.
