Types of monitoring
- Behavior monitoring
- Periodic monitoring
- Online monitoring
- Diagnostic monitoring
Behavior monitoring
- Operating temperatures
- Noise level
- Oil levels
- Flow indicators
Periodic monitoring
- Impedance measurement
- Capacitance& tan delta of windings /bushings
- No load losses
- Magnetic balance
- Mag current
- Oil tests
- Dissolved gas analysis
Oil tests
- Breakdown voltage
- Moisture content
- Acidity
- Tan delta
- resistivity
Dissolved gas analysis
- Type of fault gasses
- H2 partial
discharges
- Co
cellulose involvement
- C2 h2
acetylene arcing
- Ch4 , c2h4, c2h6,
thermal hot spots
- Frequency of DGA
- Decision on investigation
Online monitoring
- Online dga
- Online PD
Diagnostic monitoring
- Low voltage tests
- Loss measurement
- Voltage ratio
- Resistance
- Frequency response analysis
- Degree of polymerization index
- Furan analysis (furfural content)
Frequency response analysis
- To detect movement of windings under short
circuit conditions
- Low voltage sinusoidal output to one end of
winding from network analyser
- Voltage transfer function measured from 5hz to
10mhz
- NA programmed to measure amplitude and phase shift at discreet intervals of
frequencies
- Condition assessment based on
1. Comparison of responses from different phases for each
winding and tap position
2. Comparison of responses from different
transformer of the same design response comparison
- Response for all three phases to be similar on a
particular tap position for a single transformer and for different
transformer of same design
- Appearance of new features or major phse shift is
concern.
- Transformer windings LC network responses governed by
inductance/capacitance of network
Frequency bandwidths
- 5hz to
2khz indicate mag circuit condition
- 2khz to
200 khz changes in leakage
impedance
- 1mhz and above
indicate capacitance changes
DP INDEX
- Kraft
paper used as insulation is a mat of cellulose fibers which consist of
cellulose molecules
- Cellulose a linear polymer of glucose molecules
that are linked by glycosidic bonds.
- Length cellulose molecule is measured in terms of
DP Index.
Mechanical strength
of paper
- Depends on dpindex of paper
- New paper
1200 to 2000
- Below 250
a matter of concern
- Below 150 little life left and close to failure
Furfural analysis
- Product of cellulose degradation are furan compounds
particularly 2-furfural dehyde
- Compounds stable up to 110 degree centigrade
- Presence of compounds in oil is certain
indication of cellulose degradation
