The objective of this work is to compute the mechanical stresses within transformer resulting from the excessive short-circuit currents. The forces and stresses set up in transformer windings and their clamping structures, as the result of external or internal short-circuits or of switching operations, are considered in detail. Various arrangements of windings in large power transformers are described. Points at which particularly high mechanical stresses occur in concentric windings are discussed in detail. Analytical and FEM (Finite Element Method) calculation for both types of short...
