Abstract

The second part of the article examines the data of Soviet scientists on the dependence of the electrical strength of insulation of power transformers on time in historical development. Where possible, the scatter values of break-down voltage and/or partial discharge initiation voltage have been extracted from the publications under consideration for data collection to optimize insulation design and possible future statistical coordination of the internal insulation of transformers. The article is intended for young transformer engineers and for teaching transformers to undergraduate and postgraduate students in universities.

Influence of non-sinusoidal voltages on electromechanical stresses in cross-linked polyethylene insulation with micro-defects of power electrical cables

Introduction. Power cables with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation have significant advantages over traditional oil-filled ones, which have led to their widespread use in high-power electrical networks of all developed countries. However, such cables are increasingly forced to operate under conditions of non-s...

Performance evaluation of an improved international electro-technical commission based thermal modeling of power transformers under factory testing conditions

Power transformers play a vital role in power systems, from the generation of electrical energy through transmission and distribution to end consumers. They are often loaded near rated-load conditions during operation. This leads to increased losses and a rise in temperature in the power transformers. The thermal perfo...

Research on the electrical resonance characteristics of power transformer windings

When a power transformer subjected to transient over-voltages containing different harmonic components, the frequency components of over-voltages are coupled with the inherent electrical frequency of the transformer winding, which can induce high-amplitude resonant over-voltages in the winding and thus lead to transfor...
