EN The diagnostics of power transformers is a very fast developing branch, due to increasing average age of assets and changes in asset management strategies, nowadays companies introduce asset management based on technical condition. One of important methods used for diagnostics of a transformer’s active part is Frequency Response Analysis (FRA). It allows determination of mechanical condition of windings, their displacements, deformations and electric faults, as well as some problems with internal leads and connections, core and bushings. For the aim of windings impedance modeling the transmission-line models are applied. The idea of TLM was presented in [1], While the length of transformer wires is comparable to wave length at high frequency, such approach is reasonable. The paper presents examples of models created for simple windings.
