Winding temperature indicator

A winding temperature indicator estimates transformer winding hot-spot temperature, which cannot easily be measured directly. A sensor in the top-oil pocket is heated by a small element fed from a CT on the load current, so the reading rises with both oil temperature and load, and its contacts control fans and give alarm and trip.

A distinction that matters

A WTI estimates winding hot-spot with a thermal image; an oil temperature indicator reads oil temperature only.
