It has been reported that the tap changer contributes to a large percentage of failures in the power transformer. This paper investigates a faulty tap changer using the frequency response analysis (FRA) test. All measurement configurations in FRA were employed to verify the effectiveness in detecting the fault. The test configurations are the end-to-end open circuit, the end-to-end short circuit, the capacitive inter-winding, and the inductive inter-winding. The coking and pitting of the tap changer are fabricated in several pieces of copper. These pieces are installed on the transformer tap selector. The FRA measurement was then performed on an 11/ 0.433 kV, 500kVA transformer at normal and faulty conditions. The variation between the FRA measurements is then calculated using the correlation coefficient (CC). This study improves the understanding of the FRA method by exploring its ability to detect tap changer faults. It is realized that the FRA method is sensitive to the tap changer coking and pitting. The results show that the tap changer coking effect at low frequencies. The response drop in magnitude at low frequencies between 20 Hz and 2 kHz. For pitting, it shows the response shifting towards higher frequencies.","PeriodicalId":191189,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on the Properties and Applications of Dielectric Materials (ICPADM)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132481388","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}

In order to study the electric thermal coupling field characteristics of the conductor joint under the contact finger connection mode, a three-dimensional electromagnetic heat flow coupling model of 220kV GIS conductor joint is established in this paper. The finite element analysis method is used to simulate and calculate the steady-state temperature field distribution by using COMSOL multiphysics and ANSYS-CFX, and the electric field distribution when the material performance parameters change under the influence of temperature is calculated. In addition, considering that the contact finger is affected by external factors, resulting in contact deterioration, this paper calculates the temperature field and electric field distribution of GIS conductor joint under different degrees of contact deterioration. The results show that the increase of contact resistance will cause a certain temperature rise of GIS conductor joint, and then affect the overall electric field distribution.

Typical insulation used within HVDC cables is either Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) or Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE). When a HVDC cable is in service and therefore stressed under DC high voltage, space charge will start to accumulate within the polymeric insulation of the power cable. It is widely accepted that the dynamics of space charge accumulation is as an important element affecting the performance of high voltage cable insulation system. This paper intends to investigate and explain the influence of different permittivity and room temperature on the space charge accumulation within XLPE through a study of numerical simulation. The numerical simulation in this paper was developed based on previous research by R M Hill and J M Alison. Three fundamental equations known as Poisson’s, Transport and Continuity equations, which represent the characteristics of space charge, were employed for the numerical simulation. Preliminary results of the numerical simulation have shown that the variation of these parameters would influence the accumulation behaviour of space charge within the polymeric material.","PeriodicalId":191189,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on the Properties and Applications of Dielectric Materials (ICPADM)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122930386","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}

The simulation result would be validated for its magnitude, waveform, Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), and dominant harmonic number. Several simulation case studies were conducted, which are applied voltage variation, salt fog conductivity variation, and prior to flashover condition. The results show that the insulator characteristics could be identified by analyzing the pattern of the obtained electrical parameters from each condition. The electrical properties are not much changed as the applied voltage increased. Meanwhile, the electrical properties of the insulator are affected by the salt fog conductivity. Insulators used on high conductivity salt fog will have lower resistance and a high tendency to initiate arc on the surface.
