Analysis of High-Frequency Dispersion Characteristics of Capacitance and Loss Factor of Aramid Paper Impregnated with Various Dielectric Liquids

摘要

This paper presents research results of the loss factor of high voltage insulation samples made of aramid paper impregnated with various types of insulating oil. The analysis was carried out in the high frequency domain in the range of 50 Hz to 1 MHz. The experiments were carried out for three impregnation types: mineral oil, synthetic ester and natural ester. The influence of temperature in the range of 20 °C to 100 °C, which is typical when using this type of insulation in power transformers, was taken into account. In addition, the process of influence of initial aging of aramid paper was simulated by heat soaking the samples before their impregnation at a temperature of 250 °C in multiple time intervals. Based on the analyses of dispersion characteristics of insulation sample loss factors, conclusions and recommendations for further diagnostics of aramid-oil insulations using the method described were delineated.
