A lot of things determine the life expectancy of a transformer such as overheating due to triplen harmonics, unbalanced loading, vibro-acoustic noise and so on. For this reason, this paper presents the investigation carried out on the magnetostrictive sound of Bauchi, 30/40 MVA, 132/33 KV substation...
