In the field, the application of dissipation factor measurements at (typically) 10 kV and at line-frequency (50 or 60 Hz) has been in use for many years without significant changes to the method. Nevertheless, multifrequency measurement of dielectric losses has opened a wider spectrum of analysis for power, distribution transformers and bushings. It is missing though, in the literature, a clear and properly supported discussion about how and when a single frequency measurement is validated with a multifrequency measurement or completely challenged. Important to recognize the link between line-frequency measurement, narrowband measurement (1 – 505 Hz) and full spectrum dielectric response (typically 1 kHz – 1 mHz). Limited information obtained in the frequency domain may identify a faulty unit but may not be used as a preventative test to minimize risk of failure. Preliminary research does address the need for limits of narrowband measurements. This is only possible when a correlation is established between temperature and frequency as it has been done using the well-known Arrhenius correlation. Therefore, in this work, the analysis of the dielectric response at frequencies beyond line-frequency leads to the undeniable benefit of using a multi-frequency dielectric loss procedure to establish higher confidence at the time to state not only technical but also financial decisions.","PeriodicalId":261952,"journal":{"name":"2022 7th International Advanced Research Workshop on Transformers (ARWtr)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126004532","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}

This process is done with CFD, which also allows to observe differences between different cooling fluids.It is determined a better behavior of mineral oil in all cases simulated. In addition, the feasibility of the analysis by individual parts for closed systems is higher due to the lower time and computational requirements for no high accuracy needs.

The experimental set up and basis for simulating the operating conditions and the impact of the use of dry lubricating compound on the solid and liquid insulation of the transformer are discussed. The test results of the experiment indicate that the dielectric properties namely surface conductivity and DC resistivity of the solid insulation can be affected. This can be measured using the capacitance and power factor test. Manufacturers often study the compatibility of the compound with liquid insulation (mineral oil) only and seldom on the solid insulation. The results suggest that the manufacturers should study the impact of the compounds on the solid insulation as well and not only on liquid insulation.","PeriodicalId":261952,"journal":{"name":"2022 7th International Advanced Research Workshop on Transformers (ARWtr)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133448847","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}
