Abstract

Most power transformer failures are associated with the presence of corrosive sulfur compounds in mineral insulating oil, of which dibenzyl disulfide (DBDS) is the best known and most widespread corrosive sulfur compound. The oil of failed transformers usually contained DBDS, a compound with a pronounced affinity for the formation of copper (I) sulfide (Cu2S). Copper (I) sulfide is a compound that does not dissolve in oil, conducts electricity, and can be deposited on the paper insulation or copper conductor of the transformer. Created conductive paths between the windings can initiate turn-to-turn breakdown and failure of the transformer. Several technological procedures have been developed as a solution to oil corrosivity. The application of desulfurization technology developed by the Electrical Engineering Institute "Nikola Tesla" enables the efficient removal of DBDS and aging products from mineral insulation oils.

Summary

Introduction

Kratak sadržaj: Jedan od značajnih rizika havarije energetskih transformatorima je prisustvo korozivnih sumpornih jedinjenja u mineralnom izolacionom ulju od kojih je dibenzil-disulfid (DBDS) najpoznatije i najrasprostranjenije korozivno jedinjenje sumpora. Rastvaranje bakra u ulju predstavlja neophodan korak u reakciji formiranja bakar sulfida u papiru, stoga je afinitet ulja prema bakru za stvaranje komleksnih jedinjenja veoma važno pitanje [9] .
