摘要
The latest 2011 edition of the IEEE C57.100 standard introduced a new sealed tube accelerated aging test (STAAT) procedure and methodology for evaluating the thermal index (TI) of liquid-immersed transformer insulation systems. The application of this standard becomes increasingly important, as new insulating materials (both solid and liquid) have been developed, and their thermal performance shall be qualified. The experimental work presented in this article investigated the effects of different test parameters on the aging test results and data interpretation. The new findings on the dependence of the aging process on the ratio and type of materials in the system, as well as on the selected aging criteria provide a better understanding of the accelerated aging and interpretation of the data along with practical recommendations for the improvement of the test procedure. In parallel, for the first time, the TI of the Transformerboard, as a component of the so-called industry-proven insulation system, was investigated and defined based on the standard industry test. The results confirmed that the Transformerboard's thermal class is, at least, 120 degrees C; this validates an empirically based application of this material as a part of the 120 degrees C class insulation system in both power and distribution transformers.
