In this paper, streamer and breakdown phenomena and their mechanisms of an inhibited Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) transformer oil under standard negative lightning impulse voltages were studied. A conventional inhibited mineral oil was also tested as the benchmark. Experiments were carried out in 25 mm and 50 mm point-plane gaps. Streamer and breakdown phenomena of both oils were observed from the streamer...
Ageing assessment of transformer paper insulation is commonly conducted through measurement of different chemical indicators in oil such as carbon oxide gases and furanic compounds [1]. Apart from these conventional paper ageing indicators, recent research success has shown that methanol and ethanol in transformers can also be used to indicate the degradation of transformer paper insulation [2].
Insulating oils are widely used in power transformers. The oil insulation degrades under multiple stresses during the transformer operation, which affects the insulation integrity and consequently could cause transformer failures. DC resistivity is one of the dielectric parameters of insulating oil for assessing transformer insulation conditions. This paper presents results of DC resistivity measurements...
This paper investigated the streamer inception and breakdown properties of a mineral oil and a synthetic ester liquid under DC stress up to 100 kV. To observe the effect of tip radius on streamer inception, the point-plane electrodes configuration with a fixed gap distance of 10 mm and point electrode with the radii of 5 μm, 10 μm, 20 μm and 50 μm were used. To observe the effect of gap distance on...
