Abstract: A transformer management system and method involves using sensors to sense physical quantities associated with the operation of a transformer. Processing circuitry uses the sensed physical quantities to calculate values from mathematical models for representing behavior of the transformer. These calculated values are compared to threshold values and an output is generated based on the result of the comparison.
