  • Abstract
    A method of evaluating the effects of loading on transformer life expectancy is set forth, in an orderly fashion, in this paper. The necessary equations (with examples) to illustrate the concepts involved are included. The most unique contribution is the inclusion of an equation which is a mathematical model of a transformer from a thermal standpoint. A means to calculate the hottest spot temperature for both continuous and varying loads is provided through this equation.
