Study on the Preparation and Test Method of Transformer Oil Used in Laboratory.

The power transformer is one of the most important parts of a power system. The transformer oil in a transformer not only increases its insulation strength, but also helps its cooling. Cellulose particles are one of the main factors affecting the breakdown characteristics of transformer oil, and the withstand voltage test can effectively detect the quality of transformer oil. Therefore, the withstand voltage test on transformer oil with different cellulose particle content levels in the laboratory can determine the breakdown characteristics of transformer oil and the method of improving the insulation strength of power transformers. However, there is lack of a set of effective preparation and test methods of transformer oil for laboratory use in the industry. Based on national standards and engineering practice, this paper puts forward a method of preparing transformer oil with different cellulose particle content levels in the laboratory and a method of the withstand voltage test on transformer oil in the laboratory, which can improve the efficiency and the scientificity of such experiments.
