Abstract: The singlephase earth fault occurred in operation of 500kV main transformer in a pumped storage power station. By inspection of the inner parts of the transformer and analysis, it is found that a discharge fault in long oil gaps between the grading ring in oil of highvoltage bushing and the yoke was occurred. Through repairing and treatment, the discharge fault of the transformer had been eliminated basically.

Key words: 500kV main transformer, single-phase earthing, discharge in long oil gaps, fault analysis, treatment
