Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of transformer detection, and more particularly to a portable large-scale transformer bushing sealing detection device and method. Background Art
[0002] The transformer bushing is an important component outside the transformer box. It leads the internal leads of the transformer to the outside of the oil tank, and plays the role of insulation and fixation between the lead wires and between the lead wires and the transformer casing. Among the transformer failures in operation, the proportion of transformer failures caused by water ingress into the bushing due to poor bushing sealing is relatively high.
[0003] At present, the oil level of the bushing is usually determined by observing the oil level through the oil level window of the bushing for such faults. Large transformers with ultra-high voltage (500kV) and above voltage levels are large in size, and their bushings are high above the ground. The traditional observation method cannot obtain the bushing oil level in a timely and accurate manner. In addition, the bushings of large transformers are only tested for sealing when the equipment leaves the factory. There is no effective means of sealing testing during the transformer power outage maintenance stage or when the bushing spare parts are stored.
[0004] There are few relevant technical patents for transformer bushing sealing detection. The existing document CN202120180950 (Sealing detection device for low-voltage bushing of large power transformer) proposes a support frame for low-voltage bushing of large transformer, which is convenient for supporting and adjusting the low-voltage bushing to complete sealing detection; the document CN202110318957 (A method for monitoring the sealing degree of transformer bushing) provides a set of sealing monitoring devices, which judges the sealing degree by the changes in temperature and pressure inside the bushing; the document CN201610786835 (A device and method for detecting micro-leakage of the end seal of the large transformer bushing) detects leakage at the end of the transformer bushing.
