The invention relates to an oil level monitoring and warning device for an oil conservator special for a
transformer. The oil level monitoring and warning device is mainly characterized by comprising a
light source emitter, a
light source receiver, a photovoltaic conversion unit and a warning unit, wherein the
light source emitter and the light source
receiver are arranged in the oil conservator special for the
transformer, the photovoltaic conversion unit is connected with the light source
receiver, and the warning unit is connected with the photovoltaic conversion unit; the light source emitter is installed on the inner wall of the oil conservator and located above the oil level in the oil conservator; the light source receiver is installed on the inner wall, opposite to the light source emitter, of the oil conservator and located below the oil level in the oil conservator; the light source emitter irradiates a
light beam of an emitting point to the light source receiver on the other side of the oil conservator at a certain angle. The oil level monitoring and warning device is reasonable in design; according to the
refraction principle of light on an interface between gas and oil in the
transformer, the oil level of the oil conservator in the transformer is reflected; meanwhile, according to the photovoltaic conversion principle, optical signals are converted into electric signals, and then the electric signals are output, so that the warning function is achieved; the oil level monitoring and warning device has the advantages of being safe and reliable in detection, accurate in testing result, easy and convenient to operate, high in anti-interference capacity and the like.
