Guidance on the interpretation of carbon dioxide and 2-furfuraldehyde as markers of paper thermal degradation in insulating mineral oil
二氧化碳和2-糠醛作为绝缘矿物油中纸张热降解标记的解释指南
BS PD IEC/TR 62874:2015, which is a Technical Report provides guidance for the estimation of consumed
thermal life of transformers' cellulosic insulators, through the analysis of some compound
dissolved in the insulating mineral oil. A comparison between analytical results of 2-furfural
(2-FAL) and carbon oxides and their correspondent typical values estimated for different
families of equipment gives information on the estimated thermal degradation of papers.The ageing rate of insulating papers can be evaluated, in short time ranges (e.g. 1 year), by
regularly monitoring 2-FAL and carbon oxides content in the oil and by comparing them to
typical rates of increase.A statistical approach for the estimation of paper thermal degradation, and the evaluation of
ageing rate is given.Typical values for concentrations and rates of increase of the parameters related to paper
ageing were extrapolated from a statistical database collected, and are reported in Annex A.They may be used as a rough guide, but they should not be considered as threshold values.This Technical Report is only applicable to transformers and reactors filled with insulating
mineral oils and insulated with Kraft paper. The approaches and procedures specified should
be taken as a practical guidance to investigate the thermal degradation of cellulosic
insulation, and not as an algorithm to calculate the actual degree of polymerization (DP) of
papers.The paper thermal life evaluation protocol described in this Technical Report applies to
mineral oil impregnated transformers and reactors, insulated with Kraft paper. Any equipment
filled with insulating liquids other than mineral oil (i.e. esters, silicones) or insulated with solid
materials other than Kraft paper (i.e. TUP - thermally upgraded Kraft paper, synthetic
polymers) is outside of the scope of this Technical Report.This Technical Report is applicable to equipment that has been submitted to a regular
monitoring practice during the service, and for which maintenance and fault history is known.Cross References:CIGRE WG D1.01.10IEC 60076-7IEEE Std C57.91-1995CIGRE WG D1.01.TF13IEC 60450IEC 60567IEC 60814IEC 60970IEC 61198IEC 60666IEC 60599All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
