Description
HIGH VOLTAGE ASSEMBLY AND METHOD TO OPERATE THE HIGH
VOLTAGE ASSEMBLY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a high voltage assembly and method of operating the high voltage assembly.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Known high voltage assemblies like oil immersed transformers or oil immersed reactors comprise a conservator which is arranged above a cover of the compartment comprising an active component. However, the area above the cover is very limited and has drawbacks with regard to safety and electrical clearance issues. High costs and an increase in dimension are the consequences.
From EP 3 109 871 Al it is known a transformer arrangement comprising a transformer tank for a liquid-filled electrical transformer, an expansion tank, and piping connecting the transformer tank with the expansion tank for enabling liquid of the liquid-filled transformer to flow between the transformer tank and the expansion tank via the piping. The piping comprises a valve. The valve is configured for allowing the liquid to flow from the transformer tank to the expansion tank when the pressure of the liquid in the transformer tank is above a predefined first threshold and for preventing the liquid to flow from the transformer tank to the expansion tank when the pressure of the liquid in the transformer tank is below the predefined first threshold. The valve is also configured for allowing the liquid to flow from the expansion tank to the transformer tank when the pressure of the liquid in the transformer tank is below a predefined second threshold and for preventing the liquid to flow from the expansion tank to the transformer tank when the pressure of the liquid in the transformer tank is above the predefined second threshold.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the prior art, it is an object of the present disclosure to improve a high voltage assembly of the above type.
According to a first aspect of this disclosure it is proposed a high voltage assembly comprising: a sealed compartment containing an active component at least partly surrounded by an insulation liquid; a free breathing conservator; a Buchholz relay arranged above a level of a cover of the sealed compartment; and a pipe arrangement comprising: a first pipe section connecting an inside of the sealed compartment at the cover of the sealed compartment to the Buchholz relay; and a second pipe section connecting the Buchholz relay with an inside of the free breathing conservator at a lower portion of the free breathing conservator, wherein in a normal operating state of the high voltage assembly a hydraulic diameter of the pipe arrangement is maintained constant. Moreover, in the normal operating state of the high voltage assembly the level of insulation liquid in the conservator is maintained below the level of the cover of the sealed compartment. The proposed high voltage assembly allows a reduction in size due to a level of insulation liquid in the conservator below the cover of the sealed compartment. Specifically it is easier to maintain the necessary electrical clearances due to free space above the cover. Moreover the overall size can be reduced. The Buchholz relay provides sufficient protection capabilities for the high voltage assembly. During transport the conservator can remain at its position and it is not necessary to remove it. Due to the constant hydraulic diameter of the pipe arrangement no further valve elements are necessary which are operated in the normal operating state. Therefore, costs with regard to maintenance and production are reduced.
An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the second pipe section comprises a lower valve and an upper valve. Closing the second pipe section is therefore available for retaining insulation liquid in the second pipe section.
An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the cover of the sealed compartment comprises a valve. This option allows for a well-defined draining of insulation liquid to the conservator.
An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the sealed compartment and the free breathing conservator share a wall. A reduction in size and cost is achieved.
An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the pipe arrangement comprises: a third pipe section connecting an inside of the sealed compartment and the lower portion of the free breathing conservator. By this further liquid connection it is possible to exchange liquid in maintenance operation.
An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the third pipe section comprises a pump for pumping insulation liquid from the free breathing conservator to the sealed compartment. Accordingly the high voltage assembly can be brought to a normal operating state with the sealed compartment filled with insulation liquid.

The high voltage assembly comprises: a sealed compartment containing an active component at least partly surrounded by an insulation liquid; a free breathing conservator; a Buchholz relay arranged above a level of a cover of the sealed compartment; and a pipe arrangement comprising: a first pipe section connecting an inside of the sealed compartment at the cover of the sealed compartment to the Buchholz relay; and a second pipe section connecting the Buchholz relay with an inside of the free breathing conservator at a lower portion of the free breathing conservator. The method comprises: maintaining a hydraulic diameter of the pipe arrangement constant when operating the high voltage assembly in a normal operating state; and maintaining in the normal operating state of the high voltage assembly the level of insulation liquid in the conservator below the level of the cover of the sealed compartment.
An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the method further comprises: shutdown the high voltage assembly to transfer the high voltage assembly to a maintenance state; transferring at least part of the insulation liquid from the sealed compartment to the conservator; conducting maintenance work; returning the at least part of the insulation liquid from the conservator to the sealed compartment; switching on the high voltage assembly to return to normal operating state. No extra-volume for
receiving insulation liquid during maintenance operation is necessary and consequently reduces maintenance costs.
An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the transferring further comprises: opening at least partly the cover of the sealed compartment. This allows that at least part of the insulation liquid flows into the volume of the conservator.
An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the transferring further comprises: opening a third pipe section connecting an inside of the sealed compartment and the lower portion of the free breathing conservator. Even then the first or second pipe sections are closed or without liquid, a liquid exchange may be accomplished by the third pipe section.
An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the transferring further comprises: closing the second pipe section. Insulation liquid can be therefore retained in the second pipe section which prevents air bubbles in the second pipe section due to the operation during maintenance. An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the returning further comprises: closing the cover of the sealed compartment. This seals the compartment for returning to the normal operating state.
An advantageous embodiment is characterized in that the returning further comprises: opening a venting valve of the Buchholz relay; pumping insulation liquid from the free breathing conservator to the sealed compartment until insulation liquid leaves the open venting valve; and closing the venting valve. By conducting these steps it is assured that insulation liquid is present up to the Buchholz relay.

In the maintenance state M the third pipe section 30 comprises the pump 32 for pumping insulation liquid from the free breathing conservator 10 to the sealed compartment 4. In an embodiment the pump 32 allows a flow of insulation liquid to the conservator 10 when not operating.

The high voltage assembly 2 is shutdown 320 in order to transfer the high voltage assembly 2 to a maintenance state M. At least part of the insulation liquid from the sealed compartment 4 is transferred to the conservator 10 in a step 330. The step 330 further comprises opening at least partly the cover 14 of the sealed compartment 4.
