Description

Moisture monitoring device

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of monitoring equipment, in particular to a moisture monitoring device.

Background

The fully-sealed oil conservator is an important part of a power transformer, and is mainly used for compensating volume change of transformer oil caused by temperature change, and isolating the transformer oil from air in order to ensure the quality of the transformer oil, so that the insulation performance of the transformer oil is prevented from being reduced due to the fact that moisture in the air enters. The types of fully-sealed oil conservators are various, and mainly comprise capsule type, diaphragm type and metal corrugated expansion type.

When the capsule type or diaphragm type oil conservator is in normal operation, the capsule (or diaphragm) floats above the transformer oil to prevent the transformer oil from contacting with air. However, the air outside the capsule (or the diaphragm) contains a small amount of moisture, the capsule (or the diaphragm) cannot achieve 100% of seepage-proofing capacity, and a small amount of moisture still slowly enters the transformer oil in the capsule (or the diaphragm) through the seepage action after a long time, so that the transformer oil enters the oil conservator. In order to prevent the moisture from entering the transformer body from the oil conservator to cause more serious accidents, a dirt collecting box is arranged below the capsule type (or diaphragm) oil conservator, the moisture is collected in the dirt collecting box, and the valve below the dirt collecting box is opened to discharge the moisture during maintenance. However, whether water is accumulated in the sewage collecting box or not and whether water needs to be discharged or not cannot be known in advance. If the water in the sewage collecting box is too much and overflows when the capsule is damaged or the like under severe conditions, the water can be distributed into the transformer body, so that serious transformer accidents are caused, and at present, no equipment capable of monitoring whether the water in the sewage collecting box needs to be drained or not exists.
