Preventive Transformer Oil Testing

Transformer Explosion Breaking News

Transformers are among the most expensive assets in the power network, representing over half of substation capital cost. In that extremely valuable transformer the cellulose insulation is the one component that will degrade with age and cannot be replaced without considerable cost and loss of service. Of the factors that can degrade the cellulose insulation – moisture, temperature, and oxygen – moisture is the most aggressive combatant.

Excessive moisture and other impurities in the paper and oil can significantly reduce the dielectric strength and the partial discharge inception levels; therefore, it has a profound effect on the aging rate.

Transformer Insulation Paper

To put it simply, moisture and contamination in the transformer’s insulation system cause the molecular chains of the cellulose to decompose, in turn accelerating the aging process of the cellulose
and adversely affecting the tensile strength and dielectric properties of the insulation. The result can be catastrophic, ending in premature failure, with replacement involving a considerable amount of time and expense – vital assets that you cannot afford to waste.

Yet, power utilities across the globe are faced with reductions of capital spending, retirement of experienced personnel, and crippled maintenance budgets. Existing resources must be leveraged to get the most out of assets that are nearing the end of their useful life.

Meeting the growing demands of the grid, while maintaining system reliability with this aging fleet is extremely taxing and uneconomical. Without significant changes in the way the utility operates and cares for its transformers, resources will be lost at exponential rates, but traditional maintenance is reactive rather than proactive.

For these reasons, regular transformer oil testing saves real time and money to reduce maintenance, and defers the need for capital expenditures to replace these critical expensive assets in the long term. With this no-risk and cost-efficient procedure you can protect a million-dollar investment and ensure that your power transformers perform to their full potential.

OLT Testers by KEP

The OLT Insulating liquid testers by KEP are designed for measuring the oil dielectric breakdown voltage; the A-Series oil testers are fully automatic, produce accurate testing results, safe for the operator, and comply with the industry’s main standards.

The OLT insulating liquid test sets switch off the voltage feed to the electrodes immediately after the testing is over, which allows for testing dielectric liquids susceptible to disintegration due to arcing caused by a breakdown.

Main features of the KEP oil testers OLT A-Series:

Perhitungan & Cara Merubah Kumparan Blender Dari 220 V Menjadi 12 V

          Seperti yang telah dijelaskan pada buku “menggulung motor listrik arus bolak-balik, servis peralatan listrik rumah tangga kelompok penggerak dan perbaikan peralatan listrik pertukangan”, bahwa motor penggerak yang digunakan pada perlatan listrik rumah tangga dan pertukangan seperti blender, mixer, bor tembak, gerinda dsb menggunakan jenis motor universal. Motor universal adalah jenis motor listrik yang dapat disuplai dengan sumber listrik arus bolak-balik (AC) dan arus searah (DC). Jadi peralatan-peralatan listrik rumah tangga dan pertukangan tersebut yang biasanya kita suplai dengan sumber listrik AC dari PLN atau Genset sebesar 220 V sebenarnya dapat juga kita suplai dengan sumber listrik DC yang tentunya tegangan juga harus sama yakni 220 V.           Yang menjadi permasalahan bagaimana kalau peralatan listrik rumah tangga atau pertukangan tersebut, sebagai contoh misalkan blender yang ingin digunakan atau dioper...

BT-BASIC command line

8.8       At the BT-BASIC command line type the command  msi  and the directory path, then press the “ENTER” key on the keyboard.  Example:                   msi ‘/hp3070/boards/aspect/main’ 8.9       At the BT-BASIC command line type the command  get ‘testplan’ and press the   ENTER” key on the keyboard.  You should now see the body of the testplan file displayed in the work space of the BT-BASIC window. 8.10     Some of the most frequently used BT-BASIC commands used are:

Testhead

4.3         Testhead The testhead is that portion of the tester that supports the PIN, ASRU and Controller cards.   The testhead is divided into two BANKS and each BANK is divided into two MODULES, see figure 2 below.  Bank 1 contains modules 0 and 1, bank 2 contains modules 2 and 3.  The test fixtures are placed on the banks of the tester and locked down for board testing.  The testhead cards interface to the test fixture through the spring loaded pogo pin “nails” at the top edge on each of these card types. 4.4       Support Bay The support bay is a stand-alone cabinet that houses the power supplies for the Unit Under Test.  This bay also houses the test station power distribution unit and test station controller on earlier models. 4.5       Emergency Shutdown Switch The emergency shutdown switch is the large red button located at the lower left corne...

Kelebihan dan Kekurangan Saluran Listrik Jenis Saluran Udara dan Saluran Bawah Tanah

Berdasarkan pemasangannya,   saluran distribusi dibagi menjadi dua kategori, yaitu : saluran udara (overhead line) merupakan sistem penyaluran tenaga listrik melalui kawat penghantar yang ditompang pada tiang listrik. Sedangkan saluran bawah tanah (underground cable) merupakan sistem penyaluran tenaga listrik melalui kabel-kabel yang ditanamkan di dalam tanah. 1.    Saluran Bawah Tanah (Underground Lines) Saluran distribusi yang menyalurkan energi listrik melalui kabel yang ditanam didalam tanah. Kategori saluran distribusi seperti ini adalah yang favorite untuk pemasangan di dalam kota, karena berada didalam tanah, maka tidak mengganggu keindahan kota dan juga tidak mudah terjadi gangguan akibat kondisi cuaca atau kondisi alam. Namun juga memilik kekurangan, yaitu mahalnya biaya investasi dan sulitnya menentukan titik gangguan dan perbaikannya. Kedua cara penyaluran memiliki keuntungan dan kerugian masing-masing. Keuntungan yang dapat diperoleh dari suatu jaringan bawah...
