Voltage-time Characteristics and Reliability Evaluation Method of Oil-filled Transformer for Non-effectively Grounded Voltage Class

Abstract

The power frequency withstand voltage tests are specified on electric power equipment in JEC-0102 by evaluating the lifetime reliability with a Weibull distribution function. It may be applied on 66-154kV transformer for non-effectively grounded voltage class. The present paper describes the results that measured AC insulation characteristics (Voltage-time characteristics) and Weibull parameters for oil-filled transformer of 66-154kV class. These measurement parameters were compared with the conventional Weibull parameters, which were applied for oil-filled transformer of voltage class above 154kV. Furthermore the non-partial discharge test voltage was evaluated by trial calculations, using the parameters obtained this time or typical parameters.
