Introduction This introduction is not part of IEEE Std C57.146-2005, IEEE Guide for the Interpretation of Gases Generated in Silicone-Imm

7、ersed Transformers. Since its introduction in 1974, silicone dielectric fluid has become widely accepted in power and distribution transformers. As the number of in-service transformers grows and their average age increases, the need for early detection of incipient fault conditions becomes more imp

8、ortant. Experience has shown that the detection of certain gases generated in a mineral-oil-filled transformer is frequently the first available indication of an abnormal condition that, if not corrected, may eventually lead to failure. To apply this predictive capability to silicone-immersed transf

9、ormers, work has been done to understand how their gassing characteristics relate to mineral-oil-immersed transformers. In a silicone-immersed transformer, generated gases can be found dissolved in the fluid or in the gas blanket above the fluid. The detection of an abnormal condition requires an ev

10、aluation of the amounts and types of generated gas present and the continuing rate of generation. Some indication of the source of the gases and whether solid insulation is involved may be gained by determining the identity of the generated gases.

37、are considerably different in composition than transformer mineral oils. Figure 1 shows a typical chemical structure. Although many of the gases generated under thermal and electrical stress are the same for mineral oils and silicone fluids, there are differences in proportions of these gases. As in

38、dicated in Table A.1, some gases have a different solubility in silicone fluid than in mineral oil. Annex B shows typical gas concentrations for the various conditions, which can generate fault gases in silicone-immersed transformers. Thus, different concentrations of those gases would be expected i

40、2.4Chemical structure of silicone transformer fluid (50cS), polydimethylsiloxane Causes of gas formation The two principal causes of gas formation within an operating transformer are thermal and electrical stresses. Abnormally high conductor temperatures produce gases from thermal decomposition of t

41、he silicone fluid and solid insulation. Gases are also produced from decomposition of the silicone fluid and solid insulation exposed to partial discharge activity and the high temperatures associated with an electrical arc. Fluid thermal decomposition Overheating of silicone fluid results in partia

42、l degradation of the fluid and generation of low molecular weight gases. Gas composition is dependent on the dissolved oxygen content in the silicone fluid, the proximity of bare copper, and temperature. As the concentration of dissolved oxygen increases, methane (CH4) production decreases and small

43、 amounts of hydrogen (H2), carbon monoxide (CO), and ethylene (C2H4) are also generated. If the silicone fluid contains a high concentration of dissolved oxygen, large volumes of both carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide (CO2) will be generated. Minor components include methane and ethylene. In-servic

44、e silicone fluid typically contains dissolved oxygen. Even though dissolved oxygen is present, overheating of silicone fluids in the presence of bare copper results in the production of predominantly methane. Cellulosic thermal decomposition Overheating of cellulosic insulation in a silicone-immerse

45、d transformer will result in the production of both carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. The ratio of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide is temperature dependent. Hydrocarbon gases are not usually generated in significant quantities from the cellulosic insulation alone, and therefore the absence of th

46、ese gases may help distinguish between overheating of the silicone fluid and overheating of the cellulosic insulation. Cellulose degradation products such as 2-furfuraldehyde and other furan derivatives, which are soluble in the silicone fluid, may provide useful information about cellulose decompos

47、ition. This analysis can determine when solid or fluid insulation, or both, have been subject to overheating. Partial discharge decomposition Hydrogen and methane are the predominant gases generated by partial discharges in a silicone-immersed transformer. Small amounts of carbon monoxide, acetylene

48、, and ethane may also be generated. Electrical arcing decomposition The major gases generated during arcing in a silicone-immersed transformer are hydrogen, methane, carbon monoxide, and low levels of acetylene. The gases generated from the silicone fluid contain a much greater ratio of hydrogen to

49、acetylene in comparison to the gases generated from a mineral-oil-filled transformer. The presence of any amount of acetylene in a silicone-immersed transformer may be an indication of a potentially serious problem. 3 Copyright 2006 IEEE. All rights reserved.
