The mechanical faults of a transformer are predicted with monitoring its vibration, which is a new technology put forward recently for condition based monitoring of transformers. The key technology of vibration method is how to identify the effective features of the vibration signal. Based on analyzing the vibration signal in time-domain and frequency-domain with wavelet transform, a frequency bands-energy method for diagnosing the mechanical status of the core and winding of a transformer is proposed in this paper. Experimental results demonstrate that the features of the vibration signal can be effectively found out with wavelet transform, and the energy distribution of the vibration signal to the frequency bands can be obtained. The mechanical status of the core and winding of a transformer can be effectively diagnosed by the frequency hands-energy distribution. This is effective method for diagnosing the mechanical faults of transformers.
