[0002] Power transformers are crucial electrical equipment in power systems, and their operating conditions are crucial to the safe and reliable operation of these systems. Transformer accidents are largely caused by winding overheating, which leads to insulation aging. Winding breakdown and burnout account for a significant proportion of transformer accidents.
[0003] Current transformer winding temperature measurement methods used in the power industry include thermal resistors, thermocouples, and infrared. However, windings are exposed to high voltages, high temperatures, high magnetic fields, and extremely strong electromagnetic interference. Thermal resistors and thermocouples use metal conductors to transmit signals, which can generate electromagnetic interference. Metal conductors are often immersed in oil and are prone to short circuits due to aging. Infrared sensors cannot be installed inside the transformer and can only measure surface temperature, which is easily affected by ambient temperature. Consequently, some existing transformer winding temperature measurement devices suffer from technical issues such as delayed and inaccurate temperature response. Utility Model Content
