Effect of Stress on Transformer Insulation
Power transformers use Kraft paper as insulation in the electrical windings present in the core, which is immersed in oil. In service, the temperature of the windings of core will go to 75C to 85C. If the transformer is over loaded, then the temperature can exceed upto 100°C causing the cellulose chains in the paper to cleave at an accelerated rate, which results in the degradation of mechanica...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Moisture-in-Solid-Insulation Sensor for Power Transformers
Moisture is an important variable that must be kept under control to guarantee a safe operation of power transformers. Because of the hydrophilic character of cellulose, water mainly remains in the solid insulation, while just a few parts per million are dissolved in oil. The distribution of moisture between paper and oil is not static, but varies depending on the insulation temperature, and th...

Transformers are one of the most critical and essential components of electricity transmission and distribution. The life of a transformer is determined by the life of its paper insulation and transformer oil. To maximize the lifetime and efficiency of transformers, it is essential to be aware of possible faults that may occur and to know how to prevent them. One of the major faults in transfor...
متن کاملStudy of the Impact of Initial Moisture Content in Oil Impregnated Insulation Paper on Thermal Aging Rate of Condenser Bushing
This paper studied the impact of moisture on the correlated characteristics of the condenser bushings oil-paper insulation system. The oil-impregnated paper samples underwent accelerated thermal aging at 130 ̋C after preparation at different initial moisture contents (1%, 3%, 5% and 7%). All the samples were extracted periodically for the measurement of the moisture content, the degree of polym...
