Abstract: 
The objective of this paper is to identify the winding faults in three phase transformer. A prototype model of the transformer has been designed and simulated using finite element method (FEM) based CAD package called Infolitica MagNet 6.11.2 in transient 2D solver. From the simulated results the peak variation response in flux linkage signature, flux density magnitude has been captured to identify the transformer winding faults. Then the faulty transformer result has been compared with simulated healthy transformer result. The design incorporated with external taps to create winding short circuit faults. The flux linkage simulation results are verified and validated with an experimental setup by the help of LabVIEW software.
