Concentration of total sugar produced by insulating paper in oil-paper insulation system

摘要

As sugar is an important intermediate in the early stage in the degradation of cellulose, this paper proposes to use the concentration of total sugar as an indicator of the degree of aging of insulating paper in an oil-paper insulation system. The oil-paper insulation system was simulated at 90, 100 and 110C, and total sugar concentration in insulating paper and in transformer oil was measured by spectroscopy. The spectrum of sugar reaction was obtained by spectrometer, and TQ Analyst software was used to process the data. Our experiments have shown that the total sugar concentration increases significantly in the early stage of aging, and there is a linear relationship between the logarithm of total sugar concentration and the degree of polymerization. We obtained the relationship between absorbance and total sugar concentration using the partial least square method and the regression goodness of fit is better than 0.91.
