The main role of transformer insulating oil
2024-08-09
I. Insulation role
Insulating oil is one of the most important insulating media inside the transformer. It can isolate the electrical field between high and low voltage equipment inside the transformer to avoid short circuit and ensure normal operation of the transformer. In the high-voltage power equipment, the breaking strength and voltage resistance of the insulating oil is one of the important indicators of the insulating medium.
Second, cooling effect
Transformer in the work will produce a lot of heat, if not in time to dissipate heat, its internal temperature will rise, affecting the normal work of the transformer. Insulating oil can effectively absorb heat, through the circulation of cooling heat will be transmitted to the radiator to disseminate out, to maintain the internal temperature of the transformer is stable, to ensure the safe operation of equipment.
Third, the role of anti-corrosion
Transformer internal components are generally made of metal materials. The compounds in the insulating oil can effectively prevent the metal parts inside the transformer from rusting and corroding, prolonging the service life of the equipment. At the same time, it can also reduce the oxygen and moisture in the air on the corrosive effect of the transformer.
Fourth, the role of arc elimination
In the process of transformer operation, the circuit may occur in the arc phenomenon, the arc can instantly produce high temperature and high pressure, in a short time to cause serious damage. Insulating oil added specific compounds can effectively eliminate the arc phenomenon, to maintain the normal operation of the transformer.
In summary, transformer insulating oil plays an important role in transformer operation, including insulation, cooling, corrosion protection, arc elimination and other roles. Therefore, the selection of insulating oil and routine maintenance is very important to ensure the normal operation of the transformer and equipment life.
