Definitions

  • the present disclosure generally relates to electromagnetic induction devices.
  • it relates to an electrical insulation system for a high voltage electromagnetic induction device and to a high voltage electromagnetic induction device comprising an electrical insulation system.
  • liquid insulated electromagnetic induction devices such as power transformers, mineral oil, natural ester oil or synthetic ester oil is typically used as an insulating fluid between inner parts subject to different electric potentials.
  • the inner parts of an electromagnetic induction device normally comprise a magnetic core, windings, and an electrical insulation system which provides insulation between parts having different electric potential.
  • a certain distance in oil should be kept to avoid dielectric breakdown during tests and service.
  • the electrical insulation between windings in the main duct typically comprises cylindrical barriers made of e.g. pressboard to divide oil spaces in the radial direction. This subdivision greatly improves the dielectric strength for the whole width of the main duct and it allows in practice to reduce its width significantly.
  • the pressboard barriers are normally arranged concentrically between the inner and outer winding in the main duct during the manufacturing of the electromagnetic induction device.
  • a set of longitudinal bars, commonly referred to as sticks or strips, made of e.g. pressboard are placed evenly around the barriers. The strips provide a supporting surface for the windings.
  • oil wedges can provide a point of initiation of an electrical flashover.
  • a streamer can propagate from the oil wedge, across the oil space close to the wedge in the duct closest to the winding.
  • a streamer can also propagate along the surface of the stick until it reaches the cylindrical barrier and continue from that point along the barrier itself. It is desirable to prevent streamers from propagating between surfaces with differing electric potential in order to prevent electrical flashover.
  • An example of a steamer trap is disclosed in EP2806436 in which the longitudinal bar or stick has a groove arranged to receive a groove-fitting end portion of a spacer, wherein steamers initiated in an oil wedge in a region between the contact surface of the longitudinal bar and the winding may be trapped in the groove. Streamers initiated in this region may however also propagate outwards instead of inwards into the groove.
  • JP S61 224302 A discloses a stationary induction electric apparatus.
  • a vertical groove, having the base larger than the aperture part, is formed by a vertical duct piece.
  • a protrusion is provided on an interlayer spacer in such a manner that the spacer is fitted in the vertical groove and that the spacer is moved vertical duct piece is constituted in such a manner that it is made wider than the width of the intercoil spacer.
  • Partial electric discharge is generated from the wedge-shaped microscopic oil gap located between the spacer and the innermost coil of a disc coil, and the electric discharge progresses on the creeping surface of the spacer toward the inner side.
  • the width of the duct piece is wider than the width of the spacer, the progress of the electric discharge is stopped on the surface of the vertical duct.
  • an object of the present disclosure is to provide an electrical insulation system which increases the probability of trapping streamers.
  • an electrical insulation system for a high voltage electromagnetic induction device comprising: a stick having an elevated central portion and two lateral portions, which elevated central portion is elevated relative to the two lateral portions and arranged between the two lateral portions, wherein the elevated central portion defines a winding facing surface arranged to face a winding, wherein the stick has a barrier contact surface opposite to the winding facing surface wherein a first distance between the winding facing surface and the barrier contact surface defines the thickness T of the stick, wherein the stick has a first groove, arranged between a first lateral portion of the two lateral portions and the elevated central portion, and a second groove arranged between a second lateral portion of the two lateral portions and the elevated central portion, which first groove and second groove extend axially along the stick, wherein each of the first lateral portion and the second lateral portion has a respective groove adjacent surface opposite to the barrier contact surface, wherein a second distance t1 from
  • a streamer initiated in an oil wedge between the winding facing surface and the winding will be trapped in one of the two grooves.
  • the relation t1 ⁇ 0.6T i.e. that the elevation of the elevated central portion relative to the groove adjacent surfaces is at most 60% of the total thickness T, is a relation that ensures efficient streamer trapping in the two grooves, i.e. that essentially all streamers are trapped in one of the grooves instead of propagating along a different route.
  • the grooves are located at a distance from the winding, which ensures efficient streamer trapping.
  • 0.01T ⁇ t1. This relation ensures that the electromagnetic field strength will be limited on the groove adjacent surfaces, and that no streamers can be initiated between the winding and the groove adjacent surfaces, which could result in the initiation of streamers also in this region. Such streamers could possibly escape trapping.
  • the depth t4 of each of the first groove and the second groove fulfils the relation 1/3t1 ⁇ t4 ⁇ 0.9T.
  • a smallest width w4 of the first lateral portion from the first groove to a lateral end face of the first lateral portion fulfils the relation 1/3 ⁇ w4/t3 ⁇ 3, where t3 is the distance from the bottom of the first groove to the barrier contact surface.
  • a smallest width w4 of the second lateral portion from the second groove arranged to a lateral end face of the second lateral portion fulfils the relation 1/3 ⁇ w4/t3 ⁇ 3, where t3 is the distance from the bottom of the second groove to the barrier contact surface.
  • second distance t1 is in the range 0.1 to 3 mm.
  • the width w2 of the winding facing surface of the elevated central portion is smaller than the w1 width of the barrier contact surface.
  • a distance w5 from a lateral edge of the winding facing surface to a plane perpendicular to the plane defined by the winding facing surface and aligned with the lateral edge of the lateral portion of the two lateral portions closest to the lateral edge of the winding facing surface fulfils the relation 1/8w5 ⁇ w2 ⁇ 4w5, where w2 is the width of the winding facing surface.
  • this relation is according to one variation valid for both lateral edges of the winding facing surface, i.e. to the lateral edge of a respective closest lateral portion.
  • the stick is made of a cellulose-based material.
  • One embodiment comprises a spacer having a cut-out arranged to receive the elevated central portion.
  • each of the first groove and the second groove has a mouth that opens in parallel with the plane.

  • the distance, referred to as a second distance t1 between the groove adjacent surface 7a to the plane P1 fulfils the relation t1 ⁇ 0.6T.

  • the groove adjacent surface 9a of the second groove 9 delimits the second groove 11b and extends to the lateral edge 9b of the second lateral portion 9.
  • the second distance is hence strictly less than 60% of the thickness T of the strip 3.

  • the second distance t1 is strictly greater than 0.01 times the thickness T, i.e. 0.01T ⁇ t1.
  • Examples of a suitable second distance t1 may be in the range 0.1 to 3 mm. A larger distance would also be possible, but that would not reduce the risk for initiation any further.
  • the winding facing surface 5a has two lateral edges 5b and 5c.
  • a distance w5 from the lateral edge 5b of the winding facing surface 5a to a plane P2 perpendicular to the plane Pi and aligned with the lateral edge 7b of the first lateral portion 7 fulfils the relation 1/8w5 ⁇ w2 ⁇ 4w5.
