Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of transformer oil filling, in particular to an automatic transformer oil filling system based on improved pressure oil filling equipment. Background Art
[0002] An oil-immersed transformer is an electric transformer that uses transformer oil (insulating oil) as a cooling and insulating medium. Transformer oil can not only effectively insulate the windings and core of the transformer, but also remove the heat generated by the transformer during operation through convection or circulation, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the transformer. The oil filling methods of oil-immersed transformers mainly include the following: 1) Gravity oil filling method, using the gravity of the transformer oil to inject the oil from the oil tank at a high place through a pipeline into the transformer tank, which is suitable for small transformers or scenes with relatively simple on-site conditions. 2) Vacuum oil filling method, after the transformer tank is evacuated to a vacuum state, the transformer oil is injected into the tank through negative pressure, which is suitable for high-voltage and large-capacity transformers. 3) Pressure oil filling method, using an oil pump or pressurizing equipment to pressurize the transformer oil and inject it into the tank, which requires additional pressurizing equipment.
[0003] The existing oil filling methods have the following defects: 1) Gravity oil filling method, which has a slow oil filling speed and low efficiency, cannot effectively remove the air and moisture inside the transformer, and easily leads to residual bubbles, affecting the insulation performance. 2) Vacuum oil filling method, which is complicated to operate and requires high technical personnel. There is a problem of uneven local oil flow during the oil filling process. 3) Pressure oil filling method, which is difficult to control the pressure. If there is a pressure control deviation, it will cause damage to the transformer tank, and air may be entrained during the oil filling process, affecting the insulation performance. Summary of the invention
