Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of equalizing ring technology, specifically to an equalizing ring for transformer partial discharge testing. Background Technology
[0002] In the operation and maintenance of power systems, transformers, as core power equipment, are directly affected by the reliability of their insulation performance, which in turn impacts the safe and stable operation of the entire system. Partial discharge is one of the key factors affecting the insulation performance of transformers. It gradually erodes the transformer's insulation materials, shortens its service life, and may even lead to serious power accidents. Therefore, conducting partial discharge tests on transformers to accurately detect their insulation condition and promptly identify potential faults has become an important task in the power industry.
[0003] In the partial discharge test of transformers, the equalizing ring plays an indispensable and important role. The equalizing ring can effectively improve the electric field distribution on the transformer surface, avoid partial discharge phenomena caused by electric field concentration, and thus ensure the accuracy and reliability of the test results;
[0004] Due to the wide variety of transformer models and specifications, and the significant differences in structure and size among different transformers, existing equalizing rings mostly lack universality and are often only compatible with specific transformer models or specifications. When dealing with different transformers, it is necessary to redesign and manufacture dedicated equalizing rings, which increases costs and affects the efficiency of the test. When conducting partial discharge tests on various transformer models, it is necessary to frequently change different equalizing rings, which further affects the test efficiency. Therefore, a dedicated equalizing ring for transformer partial discharge testing is proposed. Utility Model Content
