4.13.3.1 Effect of sensor failure on functions
Hot-spot temperature calculation
The hot-spot temperatures for the high-voltage and low-voltage windings are always calculated.Ifathermometerorcurrenttransformersensorfails,thelostvaluewillbecalculated by the formulas in the previous sections and will be used for the hot-spot calculations.
Ageing
If the hot-spot temperature of the hottest winding cannot be calculated due, for ex-ample, to a current transformer failure, the second hottest winding will be used for the ageingcalculation.
