Abstract :
The objectives of this paper are twofold: first, to show the need for functional life-test procedures for distribution transformers, which will permit determination of the relative life expectancy of different designs on a given load cycle and of one design on various load cycles; and second, to propose test and analytical procedures which appear to fulfill this need.
