Inflatable Test Transformer

Test transformer is essential testing equipment for power equipment inspection and preventive tests. With the development of China's power industry, the voltage level requirements for test transformers are increasingly higher, while traditional oil-immersed test transformers are increasingly unable to meet on-site work requirements in terms of volume, weight, and performance.

Nature

New insulating medium

Advantages

Small size, light weight, beautiful appearance

With the progress of basic scientific research in China, the application of new materials and new processes has introduced the new medium sulfur hexafluoride gas into the field of power equipment applications. Due to the excellent insulation and arc-extinguishing properties of sulfur hexafluoride gas, as well as its non-flammability, it has been widely used as a new insulating medium, leading to the creation of the inflatable test transformer.

After years of effort, the inflatable lightweight test transformer has been successfully developed. Compared with traditional oil-immersed lightweight test transformers, this series of products reduces weight by 20%-60% (depending on voltage and capacity levels), and has no oil pollution. The voltage level of a single test transformer can reach 300KV. Due to the adoption of new production processes, the technical performance of the product has been greatly improved, making it particularly suitable for on-site work and frequent mobile working conditions.

Introduction

The high-voltage test transformer is produced based on the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics' "Test Transformer" standard, with extensive improvements over the original similar products. The AC/DC high-voltage test transformer is a new type of product produced based on the YD series test transformer, improved according to the national standard "JB∕T 9641-1999". This series of products features small size, light weight, compact structure, complete functions, strong universality, and convenient use. It is particularly suitable for insulation strength tests under power frequency or DC high voltage for various high-voltage electrical equipment, electrical components, and insulating materials in power systems, industrial and mining enterprises, and scientific research departments. It is an indispensable important equipment in high-voltage testing.

Structure

1. The design concept, material selection, and process flow of the YDQ series products are all new. Therefore, they not only have small size, light weight, and beautiful appearance, but also all technical indicators meet high international standards.

The YDQ series products use high-quality cold-rolled DQ-151 oriented silicon steel sheets stacked into a multi-stage cylindrical frame-shaped iron core. On a specially made high-strength insulating cylinder, QZ type wires are used to directly and continuously wind the high-voltage tower-type coil. The shell is of suitable size and filled with SF6 gas.

2. The difference between YDQ (JZ) products and YDQ products is that the high-voltage rectifier silicon stack is cleverly installed inside the high-voltage bushing. By inserting or extracting the short-circuit rod, the YDQ can be switched between power frequency high-voltage AC output and high-voltage DC output.

3. The difference between YDQ (C) products and YDQ products lies in the internal structure of the bushing and the structure of the high-voltage coil.

4. YDQW products are based on ordinary transformers, with improved technology and techniques, using different insulation structures, and the arc-extinguishing capability of SF6 gas itself, so that under high voltage, the transformer basically has no partial discharge. Thus, when using this transformer as a high-voltage power source for partial discharge tests of electrical equipment, it can be combined with high-precision



Working Principle

Power input passes through an operation box with overcurrent automatic trip and zero-position interlock device to prevent sudden pressurization. The voltage is adjusted by an auto-transformer and input to the primary winding of the YDQ test transformer. According to the electromagnetic induction principle, in the secondary (high-voltage) winding, a voltage amplitude proportional to the turns ratio with the primary winding is obtained - power frequency high voltage. This power frequency high voltage can be rectified by a high-voltage silicon stack and filtered by a voltage-stabilizing capacitor to obtain DC high voltage, whose amplitude is twice the effective value of the power frequency high voltage.
