Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for detecting the performance of motor winding insulation materials based on micro-deformation analysis, and belongs to the technical field of insulation performance detection. Background Art

[0002] Large generator sets are the foundation of national economic development, and their safe and reliable operation is a crucial guarantee for stable economic growth. A serious generator failure can lead to equipment damage, power outages, and significant economic losses. Extensive statistical data on generator set failures indicates that insulation damage is the primary cause of generator failures. The composite insulation material of generator stator windings is susceptible to severe electrical, thermal, and mechanical stresses, as well as various environmental factors, during long-term operation. This accelerates the aging and deterioration of the insulation material, severely impacting the safe and reliable operation of the motor. Therefore, systematic testing of the insulation aging performance of generator stator windings and research into its aging patterns are essential.

[0003] Existing analysis technologies mainly use destructive methods for sampling and analysis, or monitor changes in motor output characteristics to obtain changes in the comprehensive performance of various parts of the motor. These methods either have a test time lag and cannot achieve synchronous in-situ analysis, or use indirect testing methods and cannot accurately determine the true condition of damaged components inside the motor.

[0052] Where H0 is the initial position parameter, d is the vertical distance from the laser emission point to the surface of the motor winding insulation material;

[0053] After a certain time interval t1, measure the current position parameter H1 = Ω12dtanβ;

[0054] Where Ω1 is the deformation factor of the surface of the motor winding insulation material at time node t1;

[0057] As a preferred implementation of this embodiment, the method for judging whether the performance of the motor winding insulation material is normal based on the change of the deformation factor is specifically as follows:

[0058] Obtain the deformation factors of the surface of the motor winding insulation material at a preset number of different time nodes. In this embodiment, 50 to 60 groups of deformation factors are used as a model sample, and the root mean square average value Ω of each deformation factor is calculated. rms ;
