Acoustic Control Method of Quality Characteristics of New Transformer Oil

Abstract

Power transformers are the most expensive and strategically important components of any power generation and transmission system. Diagnostics methods result from the necessity to provide the operational reliability of power equipment and extend its operation time. Acoustic method is one of the perspective methods to determine transformer oil quality. In comparison with standard methods the acoustic method have follow important advantages: low labor intensity, need lack of the difficult expensive equipment, carrying out researches in vitro frames and high qualification of researches. This study represents results of impurity influence investigation (water and cellulose) on an acoustic range of new transformer oil
