Research and Analysis on Explosion-proof Test of Converter Transformer OLTC
the OLTC of converter transformer is taken as the research object and the explosion-proof test system of OLTC is set up. A pair of electrodes are set inside the OLTC. After the test high current passes through the small copper wire between of the electrodes and keeps it to fuse
an arc channel is formed between the electrodes. The different fault energy is obtained by adjusting the arc current
arc clearance and arcing duration and the pressure inside inside the OLTC is measured under the energy. The pressure in the oil chamber of OLTC is calculated and compared under the corresponding energy. The test research shows that: ①the explosion-proof ability of the OLTC is limited. It is suggested to improve the strength of the OLTC cover and achieve the explosion-proof ability of the OLTC in combination with the rupture disc. ②In order to avoid the excessive variation of arc voltage with the increase of arc energy
it is suggested to reduce the electrode clearance. ③For avoiding electrode erosion
it is recommended to use materials with small specific heat capacity and low melting point. It is recommended to change the electrode into hemispherical configuration so to assure stability of the arc.
