ELECTRIC INSULATING OIL INSPECTION METHOD, ELECTRIC INSULATING OIL TREATMENT METHOD, AND OIL-FILLED ELECTRIC DEVICE MAINTENANCE METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to an electric insulating oil inspection method for determining whether or not an inhibitor-consuming substance is present in an electric insulating oil. The inhibitor-consuming substance is such a substance that causes to decrease over time a concentration of an inhibitor which is added to the electric insulating oil to inhibit copper sulfide from being generated on an insulating paper immersed in the electric insulating oil. The electric insulting oil inspection method includes steps of: preserving the electric insulating oil at a predetermined condition, measuring a concentration of the inhibitor, and determining that the inhibitor-consuming substance is present upon condition that a decrement of the concentration of the inhibitor relative to an initial concentration of the inhibitor becomes not less than a specified amount within a predetermined period.
