How to deal with water inflow of dry-type transformer?
2022-10-10

Inspection method: Dry type transformer oil shall be sampled for full moisture test, which shall be less than 50mg/L. The dielectric loss and breakdown field strength can be calibrated through experiments.
Solution: Many oil-water separators must be used if they exceed the index value, and few can operate, but continuous detection is required.
Specific steps: After the dry-type transformer is filled with oil, it will remain stationary for more than two days, and then release appropriate oil (with a capacity of 100 mm high at the bottom of the dry-type transformer) from the bottom. The released oil will be subject to moisture test and chromatography. If the oil meets the standard, it will be able to be filled with oil and transported. If it fails to pass the standard, it will be put in some more and tested until it meets the standard. Why? Because the density of water is higher than that of oil, the water will sink underneath and the wet oil can be replaced.
It is specified that the dry-type transformer shall:
1. Stop operation as soon as possible;
2. Drain the transformer oil completely;
3. Try to air dry the dry-type transformer, which is very high voltage winding resistance;
4. New transformer oil can be filled only after it is completely dry;
5. Use high voltage grounding megger to conduct AC withstand voltage test on insulation layer, and the fund can be put into operation only after reaching the standard.
The above is the solution to distinguish the water ingress of dry-type transformer. The water ingress of dry-type transformer will lead to short circuit fault of dry-type transformer, resulting in the dry-type transformer being burned, resulting in a fire accident, which makes it impossible to carry out all normal power consumption, so it needs to be handled immediately.
