Summary:The distribution transformers are one of the most important elements for the operation of the distribution networks, considering their quantity and dispersion in the network, and that the failures cause great economic losses, both from the point of view of the transformer itself and of the cost of the energy left to serve. The technical condition of the distribution transformers depends on multiple external factors that influence the loss of useful life of the same, and therefore, it is necessary to relate them for a correct diagnosis. In the present work, a method based on fuzzy logic is developed for the diagnosis of distribution transformers, considering the international regulations that govern its operation. The resulting procedure was implemented using the fuzzy toolbox of MATLAB programming tools version 9.8 (R2020a). A random sample of transformers in three distribution circuits was evaluated, and the results correspond to that established in the IEEE C57.91 standard of 2011.
