Abstract
Experimental investigations of the factors affecting the generation and accumulation of static charges due to oil flow in electrical equipment are introduced and discussed. The influence of oil temperature, flow rate, and type and frequency of electrical field energization on streaming electrification of fresh transformer oil (Diala-B) has been investigated by a closed oil cycle. In addition, comparisons between the calculated and the measured values of the relative streaming currents are introduced. A spinning disc system is also used to investigate factors that cannot be easily investigated by the closed cycle, e.g. moisture content, antistatic additives, and the material of which the rotating disc is made. The experiments have been carried out for both fresh and aged oil within the temperature range of 20 to 80 degrees C using rotating discs made of various materials. The type of rotating disc material causes evident quantitative and qualitative changes in the measured current.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
