Abstract

The gas relay is the main non-electrical protection device of the transformer, which plays an important role. Traditional detection methods can not reflect the gas relay level, and there will be gas relay false alarms in operation and maintenance. Firstly, the working principle of the gas relay was analyzed, and a non-conductive capacitance sensor was proposed to realize the real-time monitoring of gas volume in the gas relay. Then, a new online monitoring scheme for intelligent gas relays was constructed through the selection analysis and optimization design of the gas protection module and liquid-level measurement module. Based on the changing state of gas volume in the gas relay, a more accurate and timely fault diagnosis of the power transformer was realized, and the prototype processing was completed. Finally, the feasibility of the volumetric testing method was verified by comparing the two conditions of different liquid-level heights and different ambient temperatures. The proposed method is of great significance for discovering the latent faults of transformers and realizing the condition monitoring of oil-immersed power transformers, which ensures the safety of power grid equipment and personnel.
