Description / Abstract:
This guide provides technical information related to
liquid-immersed power transformers insulated with high-temperature
materials.
- Guidelines are provided for applying existing qualified
high-temperature materials to insulation systems suitable for
high-temperature liquid-immersed power transformers.
- Recommendations are made regarding the loading of
high-temperature liquid-immersed power transformers.
- Technical information is provided for insulation-system
temperature ratings and test procedures for qualifying new
high-temperature materials as they become available.
No specific guidance is provided on insulating fluids other than
mineral oil. This subject is to be covered in a future revision of
this guide once more field experience is available using fluids
other than mineral oil in combination with high-temperature solid
materials.
Purpose
This guide is intended as a first step in the direction of
standardizing the application of high-temperature insulation
systems in transformers using insulation materials such as aramid
papers, aramid transformerboards, high-temperature enamels, and
hybrid systems that include both high-temperature materials and
cellulose materials. It provides technical information for the
transformer designer as well as for the transformer user.
