Abstract

Insulation problem is the main cause of power transformer failures and accidents. Arc discharge is an important manifestation and symptom of transformer insulation degradation. Therefore, it is of great significance to realize the online monitoring of arc discharge defects in a timely and effective manner, and to monitor the real-time status of transformers and conduct fault analysis based on them. Previous researches show that when the arc discharge generates ultrasonic signal, it will also be accompanied by a large number of audible signals. Therefore, monitoring the acoustic signal of arc discharge provides a new idea for online monitoring of transformers. In order to fill this research gap, the structure of arc discharge acoustic sensor based on fiber grating in transformer is designed. In view of the problem that the cross sensitivity of stress and temperature affects the measurement accuracy of the sensor, a double fiber grating temperature compensation method is proposed, and a transformer built-in acoustic sensor with large measurement range and excellent anti-interference performance, which has both audible sound and low-frequency ultrasound, is successfully developed. The theoretical measurement range is 1 kHz - 60 kHz. Using the built test platform for sensing the acoustic signal of arc discharge inside the transformer, the acoustic signal sensing ability of the optical fiber acoustic sensor is monitored by comparing the audible acoustic sensor and the ultrasonic sensor. The results show that the acoustic signal band is mainly 2 kHz - 10 kHz and 50 kHz - 60 kHz.
