Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of power transmission and transformation of electric power systems, and in particular relates to a device for simulating arc faults in transformer oil, and also relates to a method for simulating arc faults in transformer oil. Background Art
[0002] Power transformers are vital to the safe and stable operation of power systems. When an arc discharge occurs inside an oil-immersed power transformer, the arc will vaporize and crack the transformer oil, generating bubbles that wrap around the arc. As the arc deposits energy on a millisecond scale, the bubbles expand rapidly. Due to the weak compressibility of the transformer oil, overpressure will occur inside the transformer. High-energy arc faults can even cause the box to rupture, and the high-temperature cracking gas and oil mist coming into contact with air may cause a secondary explosion, further exacerbating the hazards of arc faults.
[0003] The generation and evolution of arc-induced bubbles determine the pressure characteristics of arc faults in transformer oil. The evolution of arc-induced bubbles is not only affected by arc discharge, but also has a great relationship with the structure of the arc fault site.
[0004] When studying the pressure characteristics of arc faults in transformer oil, due to cost constraints, the transformer windings and other structures are generally removed, and only an arc-starting device is arranged inside the transformer cavity. The arc-starting device consists of two symmetrical rod electrodes and a copper wire in the middle. The device generates an arc by melting the copper wire during discharge, and arc faults generally occur near the windings.

[0033] In combination with Examples 4-5, the entire transformer oil arc fault simulation device can highly restore the transformer oil arc fault situation under actual working conditions through the fine design and reasonable layout of each component, providing indispensable experimental data and technical support for transformer arc fault research, cavity explosion-proof design, etc., which is helpful to promote the technological development of the power industry and ensure the stable operation of the power system.
[0034] Example 6 On the basis of Embodiment 4 or 5, the insulating plate 7 in this embodiment includes an arc-shaped portion bent toward the top of the transformer cavity 1, and horizontally arranged mounting portions are integrally formed on both sides of the arc-shaped portion; the mounting portions are used to fix the insulating plate 7.
[0035] In this embodiment, the cross section of the insulating plate 7 is similar to the cross section of the winding, and the equivalence of the winding structure can be achieved. In this embodiment, the arc fault simulation device in transformer oil is further optimized and improved to make its simulation effect more accurate and close to the actual situation. The insulating plate 7 includes an arc-shaped portion bent toward the top of the transformer cavity 1. This unique arc design makes the insulating plate 7 more structurally consistent with the actual shape of the winding, and can better simulate the bending shape of the winding inside the transformer. The arc-shaped portion is integrally formed with a horizontally arranged mounting portion on both sides. The presence of the mounting portion provides a convenient and stable way for the fixing of the insulating plate 7, ensuring that the insulating plate 7 can be accurately maintained in a predetermined position in the transformer cavity 1, and will not be displaced due to various vibrations and impacts during the simulation process, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the simulation. In this embodiment, the cross section of the insulating plate 7 is similar to the cross section of the winding. This design feature enables the insulating plate 7 to achieve the equivalence of the winding structure to a large extent. Through this equivalent design, when an arc fault occurs between the outermost or innermost turns of the simulated winding, it can more realistically reflect the interaction between the winding and the arc and arc-induced bubbles during the actual arc fault process. This not only helps to deeply study the pressure characteristics of transformer arc, but also provides more reliable experimental data for the explosion-proof design of transformer cavity.

If it is a structure that only contains an insulating plate 7 placed horizontally at the bottom of the copper wire 4, it is necessary to check whether the connection part c of the insulating plate 7 and the support rod 8 is reliably connected through the nut 9, and the fixation of the support part c to the bottom wall of the transformer cavity 1.

At the same time, pay attention to the insulation protection measures of the line to prevent safety accidents such as leakage. The circuit breaker is closed, and the current passes through the copper wire 4 in the arc striking device to generate an arc between the rod electrodes 3. The pressure in the oil at different positions is measured by the pressure probe 14 installed on the transformer cavity 1, providing a detailed data basis for the arc fault pressure analysis; S5: After the arc discharge ends, the insulating oil 2 in the transformer cavity 1 is discharged to complete the simulation of the arc fault in the transformer oil.
