Description

The invention relates to an oil-oil passage, comprising a rotationally symmetrical, paraboloid-like, hollow feedthrough element made of a solid insulating material, along the axial extent of which a tube-like feedthrough channel is formed radially inwardly, the wall thickness is tapered to at least one of its two ends and conical further comprising a form-fitting fitted into the duct and from this both sides outstanding electrical feedthrough conductor.

It is well known that high voltage transformers are used to transfer electrical energy between different voltage levels in power distribution networks. For example, for a rated voltage level of 110kV / 380kV they have a power of several 100MVA. Due to the high voltages each sufficiently large isolation distance between live components must be observed, which leads in particular the transformer side in the insulation medium air to a disadvantageously increased size. For this reason, transformers of such high voltage levels are usually designed as oil transformers, that is, the actual transformer is arranged in an oil-filled boiler, wherein the oil serves both as an insulating and cooling medium. Due to the high insulation resistance of oil Air thus the insulation distances and thus the size of the transformer can be reduced in an advantageous manner.

At the interfaces where current-carrying conductors are led out of the insulation medium oil into another insulation medium such as air, so-called feedthroughs are necessary in order to comply with the insulation distances required for different insulation media. However, bushings are also necessary if an electrical conductor is led from a closed space through a wall into an adjacent closed space which is filled with the same insulating medium. Such an example can also be found in an oil transformer, namely where electrical conductors are routed from the oil-filled interior of an oil boiler in which a transformer is located to an adjacent inner region of the same oil boiler, from which, for example, cable connections exit. Such bushings are called oil-oil passage. The separation of the various internal areas ultimately serves to form separate oil reservoirs. In the example mentioned, the side of the feedthrough facing the transformer is referred to as the input side and the side facing the cable space is referred to as the output side.

Such oil-oil feedthroughs are based on the prior art on a standardized so-called vacuum termination element. This is a rotationally symmetrical, paraboloid-like, hollow lead-through element made of a solid insulating material, along the axial extent of which a tube-like feedthrough channel is formed radially inward, the wall thickness of which tapers conically towards at least one of its two ends. Finally, the shape of the feedthrough element is also comparable to that of a funnel, wherein the funnel outlet is extended rearwardly into the widened area of the funnel. The widened side of the feedthrough element is typically facing away from the transformer in the installed state and facing the cable space. The widened side of a lead-through element is therefore also referred to as the output side and the side remote from it as the input side.

A disadvantage here proves that an oil-oil implementation of the prior art based on such a standardized vacuum completion cumbersome is to be mounted, since on the output side additional barriers are necessary to control the field strength occurring during operation such that an electrical breakdown by oil is reliably avoided. Similarly, at the input side of the oil passage at higher voltages additional insulation is required to prevent partial discharges. According to the prior art, a wound paper insulation is usually used here, which requires a high manufacturing outlay. Both the paper insulation and the barriers, which are usually made from pressboard, have a high risk of moisture absorption, which can impair their function in the oil transformer. The elimination of a paper insulation or barriers according to the invention is therefore an additional advantage, in particular in the case of on-site assembly, because there is no possibility of drying in order to counteract this effect.

Based on this prior art, it is an object of the invention to provide an oil-oil passage, which is based on a standardized vacuum termination, is particularly easy to handle and which manages without additional barriers or without additional isolation effort. The object of the invention is also to provide a corresponding oil transformer.

This object is achieved by an oil-oil passage of the aforementioned type. This is characterized in that at least one of the two axial ends of the feedthrough channel, a respective hollow cylindrical screen element is arranged from a conductive at least partially thick-walled material, which on one side the respective end of the feedthrough channel and of the projecting feedthrough conductor encloses and which is provided on its respective other side for receiving and electrical contacting of a respective connecting conductor, wherein the axial ends of the screen element are configured round.

The basic idea of the invention is to provide on both sides at the ends of the feed-through channel of a known lead-through element a respective dome-like screen element of an electrically conductive material, which influences the potential distribution during operation of the oil-oil feedthrough such that no additional barriers or no additional isolation effort is required.

In order to achieve a desired screen effect, inter alia, an axial overlap of the feedthrough channel with a respective screen element is provided. Therefore, the inner diameter of such a hollow cylindrical screen element is chosen so that it is in any case greater than the outer diameter of the respective end of the axially tapering towards its two ends outwardly passage channel. The conical taper allows for increased overlap area. Furthermore, a sufficient axial length of the dome-shaped shielding elements is provided in order, inter alia, to ensure a corresponding field strength distribution by means of an increased distance from the wall through which the bushing is guided.

A known vacuum termination or a known rotationally symmetrical, paraboloid-like, hollow lead-through element have, for example, an outer radius of the widened (initial) side of about 30 cm, the axial length being about 26 cm. The inner diameter of the feed-through channel is constantly about 4cm, with its axial length is about 22cm. The length of a typical feedthrough conductor is approximately 43cm, resulting in a lead overhang of approximately 10cm for each side. From the bottom of the rotationally symmetric paraboloid-like hollow lead-through element, the lead-through channel extends approximately 14 cm in the axial direction to the widened (initial) side, where it has an outer diameter of approximately 4.5 cm and is approximately 4 cm from the widened end away. In the opposite direction, the passage channel extends another 8cm to the rear and has at its local end an outer diameter of about 8.2 cm.

The inner diameter of a matching screen element, which is arranged facing away from the widened (output) side, for example, is about 9 cm and is thus about 0.8 cm larger than the corresponding outer diameter of the local end of the feedthrough channel of about 8.2 cm. This allows a corresponding overlap. A corresponding outer diameter of the shielding element, which is made for example of a metal such as aluminum, is about 15cm, which gives a typical wall thickness of 30mm. Through this thick wall and the thus increased outer diameter of such a screen element, the radially outwardly occurring field strength is reduced in an advantageous manner, being designed by the axial overlap of feedthrough channel and screen element of the transition area feldstärkeunkritisch. To further reduce the field strength occurring, the axial ends of the hollow cylindrical screen element are roundish. A suitable axial length of such a screen element is for example about 15 cm or more.

The inner diameter of a matching screen element, which faces the widened (output) side, for example, is about 6 cm and is thus about 1.5 cm larger than the corresponding outer diameter of the local end of the feedthrough channel of about 4.5 cm. A suitable outer diameter of the screen element is about 12 cm, which in turn results in a typical wall thickness of 30mm. A suitable axial length of such a screen element is for example about 20 cm or more. The numerical values mentioned are to be regarded as example values by which a considerable tolerance range is given.

By arranging a corresponding dome-like screen element on both sides of the feed-through channel, an oil-oil passage is formed, which can be installed in a simple manner without additional barriers or additional insulation effort and which is characterized by its robustness and compactness.

According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the oil-oil passage according to the invention, the shielding element is coated at least on its outer surface with an insulating material, in particular with an epoxy resin. As a result, an isolation of the conductor element located on the screen element is given in an advantageous manner.

According to a further embodiment of the oil-oil feedthrough according to the invention, the widened open end of the paraboloid-like feedthrough element merges into a terminating region extending radially outwards perpendicular to the axis of rotation. This allows advantageously a flanging of the end portion of the lead-through element to a perforated wall, through which the oil-oil passage is to be performed.

According to a particularly preferred variant of the oil-oil feedthrough according to the invention, the electrical feedthrough conductor fitted in the feedthrough channel has a respective shape at its two projecting ends which is suitable for the positive electrical contacting of a respective connecting conductor with a correspondingly complementary shape. Such a shape is characterized in particular by an increased contact surface between conductors to be connected. A tongue and groove shape is an example of a suitable shape. Advantageously, the conductor ends can be screwed to their respective complementary shape so as to ensure a reliable contact.

According to a further variant of the invention contacting means are provided in the screen element for the electrical contacting with the projecting feedthrough conductor or with a recorded connection conductor. Thus, it is ensured that the shielding element is securely placed on the electrical potential of the performed conductor. An internal potential difference can therefore not occur and due to the increased radius of the shielding element with respect to the conductor diameter, the field strength at the outer surface of the shielding element is correspondingly reduced during operation.

According to a further variant of the invention, the contacting means of the shielding element comprise at least one ring-like and preferably resilient element made of an electrically conductive material, wherein the element is intended to surround the projecting feedthrough conductor or a received connecting conductor in a contacting manner. Due to the increased contact surface of the ring-like element to the performed conductor a secure electrical contact is ensured, wherein the ring-like element also serves for further contacting of the shield element.

According to a further embodiment of the oil-oil passage according to the invention, the contacting means comprise at least one thread extending radially through the wall of the screen element and a thread arranged therein Screw for fixing the protruding lead-in conductor or a received connection conductor. If a ring-like element is provided, this can also be fixed with one or more screws and thus also a guided by this conductor.

By means of such a screw connection, the screen element can be fastened in a particularly simple manner from the outside, whereby its assembly is simplified in an advantageous manner and, moreover, a compact design is achieved.

According to a particularly preferred arrangement, at least three threads of a screen element are arranged in a star shape, preferably in a common plane perpendicular to the axial course of the conductor to be fixed. This allows a particularly secure fixation along the entire circumference of the conductor.

Following a particularly preferred embodiment variant, a shielding element comprises respective contacting means both for the protruding feedthrough conductor and for a received connecting conductor. This can be, for example, two groups of three star-shaped threads with corresponding fixing screws. Thus, the fixation and contacting of the screen element to the performed conductors is further improved.

According to a further variant of the oil-oil feedthrough according to the invention, a screen element has inner cavities, by means of which a partial reduction of its wall thickness is effected. Since the outer shape of the shielding element is unaffected by this, a reduction in material and weight thus a material and weight and thus easier handling are possible.

The object according to the invention is also achieved by an oil transformer, comprising an oil tank having a first oil-filled interior area in which a transformer is arranged, and one of them separated by a wall second oil-filled interior space, wherein the wall has at least one passage, by means of which an electric Connecting a first electrical connection conductor in the first interior with a second electrical Connecting conductor is formed in the second interior, wherein the at least one passage is an inventive oil-oil passage. The resulting corresponding benefits have already been discussed during the oil-oil implementation.

Further advantageous embodiment possibilities can be found in the further dependent claims.
