  • Abstract
    This paper deals with the impact of harmonic distortion in transformer loss of life, by calculating its hottest spot temperature applying the finite elements approach. This is done by using a digital program entitled EFCAD (Electromagnetic Fields Computer Aided Design). Various cases for typical transformers are presented.
