Abstract

Winding deformations and insulation dampness are the two main causes for the creeping flashover along the dielectric surfaces of oil-immersed power transformers, which could lead to main insulation failures and explosions. In this paper, these two types of insulation defects are modelled by evaluating creeping discharge tests due to moisture dripping and local electric field enhancement in a transformer protype. The completed creeping process along the dielectric interface, from partial discharge initiation to eventual flashover, was observed using an SLR camera and electro-optical coupled sensors. The results indicate that the evolution of the two types of discharges can be divided into four stages, that is, initial weak discharge at the tip of the high voltage side, appearance of carbonised traces at the tip, strong arc discharge in the gap between the high and low voltage sides and eventual flashover. Creeping discharges caused by insulation dampness grow faster than that caused by winding deformations, in terms of discharge intensity and carbonised pressboard areas. Therefore, the more serious surface discharge phenomenon under the condition of insulation and humidity in this paper is mainly caused by the more obvious space charge accumulation brought by low-density areas such as bubbles.

用电光耦合方法研究充油变压器介质表面蠕变闪络特性
绕组变形和绝缘受潮是引起油浸式电力变压器介电表面蠕变闪络的两个主要原因,可导致主绝缘失效和爆炸。本文通过对变压器样机中湿气滴下和局部电场增强引起的蠕变放电试验的评估,对这两类绝缘缺陷进行了建模。利用单反相机和光电耦合传感器,观察了沿介质界面从局部放电开始到最终闪络的整个爬行过程。结果表明,两类放电的演变可分为4个阶段,即高压侧尖端的初始弱放电、尖端碳化痕迹的出现、高低压侧间隙的强电弧放电和最终的闪络。在放电强度和碳化压板面积方面,绝缘受潮引起的蠕变放电比绕组变形引起的蠕变放电增长更快。因此,本文中绝缘和潮湿条件下较为严重的表面放电现象主要是由于气泡等低密度区域带来的空间电荷积累较为明显造成的。
