An AC high voltage has been taken as the testing voltage while the gap between the needle and the plate electrodes used was 5 mm. Two levels of impurity in the palm oil have been considered, which were 2000ppm and 4000ppm. The experiment results showed that in a new and uncontaminated palm oil it was found that the more pointed the needle electrode was, the smaller would be the leakage current level. It implied that less uniform the electric field intensity between the electrodes, the smaller would be the leakage current level. The experiment results also showed that the water content in the palm oil decreased the breakdown voltage level significantly, and the more pointed needle electrode caused a decrease in the level of breakdown voltage of palm oil with water contaminants. It has also been observed during the experiments that the water droplets in the electric field were broken apart into smaller water droplets.","PeriodicalId":102217,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 20th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127205116","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, this research conducts experimental study and theoretical analysis of cellulose particle bridging mechanism in natural ester oil (FR3) under DC electric field. First, the spherically capped electrodes are used to test the natural ester oil (FR3) with cellulose particles in the experiment. The cellulose particles motion and the bridge-forming process in natural ester oil (FR3) are observed under the experiment of DC voltage. Then based on the experimental observation results, the numerical simulation model of cellulose particles in FR3 insulating oil under DC voltage is established, and the physical mechanism of cellulose particles at different bridge stages is simulated and analyzed. The results indicate that the presence of cellulose particles distorts the electric field distribution in the oil gap. Finally, based on the analysis and comparison of the dielectrophoretic force of cellulose particles at different positions in the electrode gap, the adsorption, aggregation and growth rule of the cellulose particles near the electrode are explained. The interval leakage current measured during the bridge-forming process shows that cellulose particles lead to interval conductance increases and the insulation performance decreases.","PeriodicalId":102217,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 20th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131020664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, oil-impregnated pressboard samples of different moisture contents were prepared; then the frequency dielectric responses were tested, and the low frequency relaxation curves were obtained; finally, the effect of moisture on low frequency relaxation was discussed. The test results show that, the relaxation peak increases by moisture content, while the characteristic frequency of the peak remains the same.

The main function of a transformer oil is its ability to dissipate heat, while ensuring electrical insulation. Among the various influencing parameters, it is well known that heat exchange in a liquid is also affected by its viscosity. Thus, the temperature dependence of the viscosity of an insulating oil should be carefully considered in the design of the cooling system of a power transformer. In this study the variation of the dynamic viscosity with temperature of commercially available natural esters and mineral oils is compared. Steady state rheological measurements are carried out, through a controlled shear rate rotational rheometer, in the 20°C ÷ 100° temperature range, under isothermal conditions. Temperature ramps are also performed, while fixing the shear rate, with the aim of investigating the variation of the steady shear dynamic viscosity over the whole temperature range. Results demonstrate that the viscosity of natural esters, though being higher at low temperatures, compared to mineral oils, strongly decreases for higher temperatures, thus favouring heat transfer and reducing the risk of hot-spots, which might lead to insulation-failures.","PeriodicalId":102217,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 20th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121126946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

During manufacturing process, the polarization current and depolarization current of the transformer insulation were measured for 6 case studies as follows: 1) paper insulation between iron core and low voltage (LV) windings before dry and vacuum in the oven, 2) paper insulation between LV and high voltage (HV) windings before dry and vacuum in the oven, 3) paper insulation between iron core and LV windings after dry and vacuum in the oven, 4) paper insulation between LV and HV windings after dry and vacuum in the oven, 5) oilpaper insulation between iron core and LV windings after dry and impregnation process and 6) oil-paper insulation between LV and HV windings after dry and impregnation process. Then, PDC test results were analyzed. It was found that the moisture content in the paper insulation clearly affected the capacitance at power frequency, and PDC shapes. Besides, the impregnation process had a good effect on the capacitance ratio and dielectric dissipation factor.

The local overheating will accelerating the fretting wear and corrosion, which will decrease the insulation and mechanical performance of RIP core.

The determination of the new total liquid flow rate is of vital importance in assessing the effect of retrofilling on flow and temperature distributions in the winding, especially for ON transformers. This paper presents the determination of flow rate ratios for four liquids—a mineral oil, a GTL oil, a synthetic ester and a natural ester—in ON transformer retrofilling scenarios. Flow rate ratios among different liquids are provided for a simplified condition of linear radiator oil temperature variation. For a more realistic exponential radiator oil temperature variation, the detailed transformer geometric information is needed to estimate the total flow rate. In addition, a hydraulic winding network model is established to prove that “minor pressure losses” due to change of flow directions is indeed minor for ON transformer liquid flow conditions, justifying neglecting the minor losses in the deduction of the total liquid flow rate.","PeriodicalId":102217,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 20th International Conference on Dielectric Liquids (ICDL)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115312480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
