Abstract

This paper presents the experimental findings on the effects of antioxidants on the corrosion of copper strips immersed in mineral oil (MO)–antioxidant samples. First, the uninhibited MO was mixed thoroughly with dibenzyl disulphide (DBDS) or 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol (DBPC) at different concentrations (5, 15, 25, 50, and 200 mg/kg) using a hot plate magnetic stirrer set at a temperature of 73 °C and stirring speed of 750 rpm for 15 min. Following this, the MO–antioxidant samples were poured into separate test vessels and copper strips were added into the vessels. Next, each MO–antioxidant sample was blanketed with nitrogen gas, sealed, and placed in a forced convection laboratory oven. The MO–antioxidant samples were then thermally aged at 150 °C for 48 h. The results showed that the acidity of the MO–antioxidant sample decreased with an increase in the antioxidant concentration, regardless whether the antioxidant was DBDS or DBPC. However, the corrosion of the copper strip worsened with an increase in the antioxidant concentration, where DBDS had a higher relative degree of corrositivity to copper compared with DBPC. In addition, the results showed that a DBPC concentration of 25 mg/kg reduced the the acidity of the MO–antioxidant sample and resulted in a moderate tarnish of the copper strip.

Abstract

The presence of moisture is one of the factors that promote degradation of transformer insulating oils and deterioration of cellulose insulation materials in oil-immersed power transformers, which affect the lifespan of the transformers. Realizing the importance of moisture in transformer insulating oils, this study compares the effectiveness of three moisture treatment techniques nitrogen bubbling technique (NBT), molecular sieve technique (MST), and vacuum oven technique (VOT)) for mineral oil (MO). The moisture content and AC breakdown voltage of the MO samples before and after moisture treatment were measured using Karl Fischer coulometric titrator and portable oil tester, respectively, in accordance with the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) D1533 and ASTM D1816 standards. The results showed that NBT is the best moisture treatment technique for the MO, where the NBT reduced 80.79% of moisture present in the oil, followed by MST and VOT, which reduced 72.87 and 42.28% of moisture, respectively. The results also showed that the AC breakdown voltage of the MO samples after moisture treatment was improved owing to the reduction in moisture content.

Abstract

This paper presents the experimental findings on the compatibility of kraft paper strips and gasket materials (fluoroelastomer (FE) and nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR)) with mineral (MO), natural ester (NE), and synthetic ester (SE) insulating oils. First, three insulating oil samples were prepared, and kraft paper strips, pressboards, and FE and NBR gasket materials were immersed in the oils. Metal catalysts were added into the insulating oil samples to simulate the actual conditions of oil-immersed transformers. The samples were thermally aged at 130 °C for 400 h. The results show that the tensile strength of the kraft paper immersed in NE increased by 1.82%, while the tensile strength of the kraft paper immersed in MO and SE decreased by 6.23 and 0.80%, respectively. The Shore A hardness of FE thermally aged in MO and SE decreased by 2.64 and 11.16%, respectively. In contrast, the FE thermally aged in NE became slightly harder, with a percentage degradation of +1.62%. On the other hand, the NBR thermally aged in MO, NE, and SE drastically decreased by 94.30, 86.70, and 93.67%, respectively. Hence, it is concluded that NBR is incompatible with the insulating oils tested in this study. In contrast, FE is most compatible with NE, followed by MO and SE.
