Abstract
Converter transformer plays an important role in the HVDC transmission system. The valve side insulation in converter transformer withstands AC superimposed DC electric field during operation. In order to investigate the flow electrification characteristics of oil-paper insulation under the AC superimposed DC electric field, an oil-paper tube model with concentric cylindrical electrode geometry was built in laboratory. Experiment study on flow electrification under DC electric field was carried using the closed oil circulating system, and the influence rule and mechanism of amplitude of AC superimposed DC electric field, the DC component ratio and oil flow velocity on the flow electrification was analyzed. The experiment results demonstrated that influences of oil flow velocity and amplitude of applied voltage on streaming currents were related to temperature. At low temperature the streaming currents increased linearly with flow velocity and amplitude of applied voltage. Increase the DC component ratio enhanced the streaming currents. At high temperature the streaming currents increased exponentially with flow velocity and showed peak effect with amplitude of applied voltage. The peak point voltage decreased with the DC component ratio. The theoretical analysis based on the experiment results demonstrated that ions generation speed at the oil-paper interface depended on the dissipation speed of positive and negative ions. Saturation of negative ions migration current in the paper and leakage current at the outer electrode lead to peak effect of streaming currents. Changing of temperature can influence the flow electrification characteristics by affecting the ions migration speed and the electric field distribution in the insulation.
