Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of The Invention
The invention relates in general to electrical apparatus, such as
transformers, and more specifically to liquid cooled electrical
apparatus.
2. Description of The Prior Art
Cellulosic paper is used in power transformers to insulate the
electrical conductors from one another and from ground. The
cellulosic insulation surrounding the electrical conductors is
impregnated with liquid insulating means, such as mineral oil, and
the magnetic core-winding assembly is immersed in the insulating
liquid, with the liquid also serving as a coolant. While cellulosic
paper impregnated with oil provides a good electrical insulating
system, the use of cellulosic paper has some disadvantages. For
example, cellulosic paper may limit the average operating
temperature of the transformer, because of its limited thermal
stability. Hot spots in the windings, which may be substantially
higher than the average operating temperature of the transformer,
make the thermal limitations imposed by cellulosic paper an even
more severe design limitation.
Cellulosic insulation must be dried to remove absorbed moisture,
before it is impregnated with the liquid insulating means. Further,
when cellulosic insulation deteriorates during usage, one of its
byproducts is moisture, which contaminates the insulation system of
the transformer.
In certain locations within a transformer, such as the turn
insulation on the electrical windings, and the insulation on tap
leads, electrical insulation having a higher electrical impulse
strength then cellulosic insulation would be desirable. While
higher electrical strength cellulosic papers are available, they
are generally characterized by being considerably more brittle than
conventional papers. Thus, in many instances, mechanical
considerations dictate the choice of conventional cellulosic paper,
with the resulting lower allowable voltage stress, which places
restrictions on the transformer design.
Also, high electrical strength cellulosic papers have a higher
specific gravity and dielectric constant than conventional
cellulosic papers. While solid insulation having a higher
dielectric constant may be desirable in specific locations within a
power transformer, it is, in general, undesirable as it transfers
voltage stress from the paper to the liquid dielectric. In most
instances it is preferable to closely match the dielectric
constants of the solid insulation and the liquid dielectric
insulation which surrounds the solid insulation.
Clothlike mats and/or papers formed of noncellulosic fibers have,
in general, been found to be unsuitable as solid insulation in
liquid filled transformers, as their electrical impulse strengths
when impregnated with liquid dielectric is no greater than that of
the liquid alone, resulting in an insulation system which has a
lower electrical strength than cellulosic insulation. Further, the
synthetic solid insulations are often limited in chemical
resistance and physical properties, when subjected to the elevated
transformer operating temperatures.
Impervious dielectric films, such as a polyester film, are also
unsuitable in most applications for solid insulation in liquid
filled power transformers, as their electrical impulse strength in
volts per mil drops rapidly when used in thicknesses above about
five mils.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Briefly, the present invention is new and improved electrical
apparatus, such as transformers, wherein at least certain of its
electrical conductors are immersed in a liquid dielectric, such as
mineral oil, with these conductors being insulated with solid
insulation impregnated with the liquid dielectric. The solid
insulation is paper, i.e., a felted sheet of fibers, formed of
wholly aromatic polyamide fibers. It has been found that unlike
most insulation formed of noncellulosic fibers, that the
combination of paper formed of wholly aromatic polyamide fibers
impregnated with conventional transformer liquid dielectric and
cooling means, such as mineral oil, provides insulating qualities
which exceeds by a substantial margin the insulating qualities of
either the noncellulosic paper or the liquid dielectric taken
alone. Further, the specific combination of noncellulosic paper
containing the wholly aromatic polyamide fibers and insulating
liquid dielectric has an impulse fail strength which is much higher
than that of cellulosic paper impregnated with the same insulating
liquid dielectric, it has greater thermal stability than cellulosic
paper and a greater mechanical strength, it does not absorb
moisture, and it does not form moisture as a byproduct when it
deteriorates

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
Certain types of liquid cooled electrical apparatus, such as
transformers, utilize paper formed of cellulosic fibers, to
electrically insulate its winding turns and leads. Cellulosic
insulation is used not only because it is economical, but because
when it is impregnated with a liquid insulating dielectric, such as
transformer oil, it has excellent electrical insulating
characteristics. These factors, plus the lack of acceptable
substitutes, makes its use as an insulating system in transformers
practically universal, even though certain disadvantages of
cellulosic insulation place restrictions on transformer design. For
example, the electrical insulating qualities and mechanical
strength of cellulosic insulation deteriorate rapidly, even when
impregnated with transformer oil, at temperatures above about
100.degree. C. when cellulosic insulation deteriorates, it
liberates water as a byproduct, contaminating the remaining portion
of the insulation system. Thus, the use of cellulosic insulation
limits the average operating temperature of a transformer because
of the limited thermal stability of the cellulosic insulation. Hot
spots which occur at certain points in the transformer, which
exceed the average operating temperature of the transformer, make
the thermal limitations of cellulosic papers an even more severe
limitation on the design of the transformer, reducing the allowable
average operating temperature of the transformer below that which
cellulosic insulation would ordinarily withstand. Cellulosic papers
of greater electrical strength are available, but these papers are
generally characterized by being more brittle than conventional
cellulosic papers, and hence mechanical considerations often
dictate the choice of the specific cellulosic paper used, and the
allowable voltage stress on the selected paper dictates transformer
design.
While cellulosic papers become brittle with age when subjected to
elevated operating temperatures, their mechanical strengths are
limited even at the time of manufacturing the electrical apparatus,
making its use extremely difficult in those applications where
tearing of the paper may be experienced.
Another character of cellulosic papers which is a disadvantage in
certain applications is its relatively high dielectric constant.
Cellulosic paper impregnated with transformer oil has a dielectric
constant in the range of 3.2 to 4.2, while the oil has a dielectric
constant of 2.2 Since electrical stress distributes itself across a
media in inverse proportion to the dielectric constants of the
strata of elements which make up the media, the oil impregnated
cellulosic insulation transfers electrical stress to oil filled
ducts and other oil filled voids adjacent the solid insulation. To
prevent this nonuniform stress distribution, it would be preferable
to more closely match the dielectric constant of the oil
impregnated solid insulation with that of the transformer oil.
The impervious synthetic insulating films, and the papers and
clothlike mats formed of synthetic fibers are, in general,
unsuitable for use as solid insulation in liquid filled
transformers, even if cost is disregarded. The impulse fail
strength of the impervious films in volts per mil drops rapidly
with thickness, making their use in the thickness range required in
power transformers unacceptable. The papers and mats formed of
noncellulosic fibers, in general, have a relatively low impulse
fail strength in volts per mil, and the combination of solid
noncellulosic insulation and liquid insulation fails to exhibit the
synergistic effect that the combination of cellulosic insulation
and liquid dielectric does. Further the synthetic fibers, in
general, are limited in their chemical resistance and physical
properties at elevated temperatures, in a manner similar to that of
natural organic fibers. Thus, the use of synthetic films, cloths
and paper has been confined to dry-type transformers, with the
emphasis in liquid cooled transformers being on a thermally
stabilizing cellulosic insulation, by using certain additives, such
as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,722,561, which is assigned to the
same assignee as the present application.
The present invention is new and improved liquid cooled electrical
apparatus which utilizes the discovery that paper formed of wholly
aromatic polyamide fibers, unlike other noncellulosic papers,
exhibits a synergistic effect when impregnated with liquid
dielectric, such as transformer oil, increasing its 60 cycle
puncture strength and impulse strength by a factor of at least two.
Further, the impulse fail strength for this specific synthetic
paper when impregnated with transformer oil, is 30 to 50 percent
higher than conventional transformer solid insulation of the same
thickness, i.e., rope-kraft paper, when it is impregnated with
transformer oil, and its 60 cycle puncture strength is 25 to 35
percent higher than impregnated cellulosic paper. Also, paper
formed of wholly aromatic polyamide fibers has excellent mechanical
strength, it is thermally stable, it has a dielectric constant when
impregnated with transformer oil which more closely matches that of
the oil, than does cellulosic insulation impregnated with
transformer oil, it does not absorb moisture and it does not
liberate water as a byproduct when it deteriorates.
To illustrate the unexpected superiority of synthetic paper formed
of wholly aromatic polyamide fibers when impregnated with
transformer oil, compared with cellulosic paper impregnated with
transformer oil, for use as electrical insulation, tests were made
to determine the impulse fail strength, the 60 cycle puncture
strength, and 60 cycle dissipation factors of various samples of
wholly aromatic polyamide paper and samples of cellulosic
paper.
The first test performed on the samples was the impulse puncture
test. Prior to testing, the samples were vacuum dried and oil
impregnated using conventional transformer mineral oil. The samples
were not removed from the oil after impregnation, until after the
tests were completed. The impulse puncture tests were conducted
with 2 inch diameter flat surface electrodes with one-fourth inch
radius rounded edges. The 11/2 .times. 40 microsecond negative
impulse voltage waves were applied to the top electrode, and the
testa were made at room temperature. Table I lists the results
obtained. ##SPC1##
Wholly aromatic polyamide papers, such as sold commercially under
the trademark Nomex, is made on a conventional paper making
machine, and hence is a water laid fibrous web available in
different densities. The first four samples listed in Table I,
represent the most common densities of wholly aromatic Polyamide
Paper available, while the next three samples are of lower density,
and were tested to determine if the density of the paper has a
relevant influence on the electrical strength of insulation. Lower
density paper is less costly, and as shown in Table I, the density
of the paper is not nearly as important in determining the volts
per mil electrical strength as the thickness of the paper. The next
five samples of wholly aromatic polyamide papers are in the
thickness range normally used for cellulosic conductor insulation
in power transformers, and thus are more indicative of their value
as electrical insulation than the tests on the thicker papers. The
last two samples listed in Table I are conventional Cellulosic
Papers, which were included to obtain an indication of the relative
impulse foil strengths of the wholly aromatic Polyamide Papers and
the Cellulosic Papers.
FIG. 1 is a graph which plots the impulse fail strength in volts
per mil against the total thickness of the insulation in mils, for
various wholly aromatic polyamide papers tested in transformer oil.
Curves 10, 12, 14, 16, 20 and 22 represent typical results of tests
made on different thicknesses and densities of wholly aromatic
polyamide papers, while curves 24 and 26 are typical curves of
tests made on 2 mil polyester films, and 3 mill rope-kraft papers,
respectively. These curves illustrate that all of the wholly
aromatic polyamide papers tested have substantially greatially
greater impulse fail strengths than either the polyester film or
three mil rope-kraft paper, in the thickness range of 1.8 to 10
mils, which is the range normally used in electrical power
transformers.
Tests were also performed on certain of the samples to determine
the 60 cycle puncture strength of the wholly aromatic polyamide
papers. Table II lists the results of this test, with the 25
volt/second rate of rise approximating a step-by-step test, as
opposed to a rapid rise test. ##SPC2##
Table III lists the results of tests made on both wholly aromatic
polyamide papers, and cellulosic papers, with some of the tests
being performed with 500 volts per second rise, and some
step-by-step tests. Also included are average fail strength in air
for some of the wholly aromatic polyamide papers. It will be noted
that the wholly aromatic polyamide papers have a substantially
higher 60 cycle fail voltage than the cellulosic samples.
##SPC3##
Next, it was important to determine the dissipation factor of the
wholly aromatic polyamide paper, relative to the dissipation factor
of cellulosic papers. The results of tests to determine the percent
dissipation factor are listed in Table IV. ##SPC4##
It will be noted that the dissipation factor of the wholly aromatic
polyamide papers shows only a moderate increase with increasing
temperature. Further, except for the second sample listed, which
has a high density (0.82), the dielectric constant of the synthetic
papers is lower than the cellulosic papers.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view, partially cut away, of a transformer
30 of the type which may advantageously utilize the teachings of
the invention. In almost every application for insulation in
transformer 30, the wholly aromatic polyamide paper may be used to
advantage, compared with cellulosic paper, with the choice in
certain of the applications being influenced by the relative cost
per pound of the two minerals. The higher cost of the synthetic
paper may be offset by its advantages in certain applications,
while not in others. Thus, while the wholly aromatic polyamide
paper has greater mechanical strength, better temperature
stability, and a greater electrical strength than cellulosic
papers, it will not be used on a general basis until the costs per
pound of the two types of paper are more competitive. Judicious use
of the synthetic paper will enable design restrictions to be
changed, which will enable other cost savings to be
experienced.
More specifically, transformer 30 includes a magnetic core-winding
assembly 32, which is disposed within a tank or enclosure 34. The
tank 34 is filled to a level 36 with a liquid dielectric, such as
mineral oil, or one of the synthetic liquid dielectrics commonly
used with power transformers, with the core-winding assembly 32
being completely immersed in the liquid dielectric. The liquid
dielectric aids in insulating the various electrical conductors
from one another, and from ground, and it also serves to cool the
transformer 30. Coolers 38 are connected to the tank 34, with the
liquid dielectric circulating therethrough, either by thermal
siphon or by forced circulation, to remove the heat from the liquid
dielectric which it has picked up from the magnetic core-winding
assembly 32.
Transformer 30, in this example, is a three-phase transformer of
the core-form type, having a magnetic core 40 and winding
assemblies 42, 44 and 46 disposed about winding legs of the
magnetic core 40. Each winding assembly includes a low voltage
winding and a high voltage winding concentrically disposed about a
leg of the magnetic core 40. The high voltage windings are
connected to the high voltage bushings, of which two bushings 48
and 50 are shown in the figure, with the third bushing being
mounted in opening 52. The low voltage windings, if connected in
wye, have their neutral ends connected to bushing 54, and the other
ends of the low voltage windings are connected to low voltage
bushings (not shown) via conductors 56, 58 and 60. A no-load tap
changing mechanism 62 is shown connected to the high voltage
windings via a plurality of conductors 64. A load tap changer may
also be used, if desired.
The first location in transformer 30 where the wholly aromatic
polyamide paper could be used to great advantage would be the high
voltage cables 64 connected to the tap changing mechanism 62, and
the high voltage cables which connect the high voltage windings to
the high voltage bushings. The high electrical strength of the
wholly aromatic polyamide paper and its lower dielectric constant
than cellulosic papers, would enable the design of these leads to
be simplified and would increase their reliability. The higher
electrical strength of the wholly aromatic polyamide paper would
enable insulating clearances to be reduced, and the lower
dielectric constant of impregnated wholly aromatic polyamide paper
will distribute stresses more uniformly across adjacent oil
passages, which will improve the corona level of the
transformer.
As the wholly aromatic polyamide papers become more competitive
cost-wise with cellulosic insulation, the wholly aromatic polyamide
paper may be used for the critical turn-to-turn insulation in the
high voltage windings. FIG. 3 is a diagrammatic view, in section,
of a portion of winding assembly 46 and magnetic core 40 of the
transformer 30 when in FIG. 2, which more clearly illustrates the
electrical conductors of the high voltage winding and the
turn-to-turn insulation.
More specifically, winding assembly 46 includes high and low
voltage winding assemblies 70 and 72, respectively, which are
disposed in concentric relation about leg 74 of magnetic core 40,
about a common centerline or axis 76. The low voltage winding 72
includes a plurality of conductor turns 78 which are insulated from
magnetic core 40 and high voltage winding 70 by insulating means
80. The high voltage winding 70 includes a plurality of disc or
pancake coils, such as pancake coils 82 and 84. The pancake coils,
such as pancake coil 82, each include a plurality of radially
disposed conductor turns, which are spirally wound about an opening
for receiving magnetic core winding leg 74 and low voltage winding
72, with the turns forming a substantially disc shape having first
and second major opposed outer surfaces and a predetermined radial
build or outside diameter. The various pancake coils are stacked in
spaced side-by-side relation, with their outer edges in alignment,
and with their major surfaces being in spaced parallel relation to
form cooling ducts between adjacent coils, such as cooling duct 86.
The plurality of pancake coils are connected in electrical series,
with the end coil 82 being connected to the line conductor 88, and
line terminal or bushing L, and with adjacent coils being
interconnected with start-start, finish-finish connections, such as
the start-start connection 90 between pancake coils 82 and 84, and
the finish-finish connection 92 which connects pancake coil 84 with
the next adjacent pancake coil.
It is to be understood, however, that other arrangements may be
used to interconnect the pancake coils. It is to be further
understood that the pancake coils, instead of being of the
continuous type, may be of the interleaved turn high series
capacitance type.
The conductors of which the pancake coils are wound includes at
least one electrically conductive strand, such as conductive strand
94, with the conductive strand or strands being wrapped with a
plurality of layers 96 of insulating paper. The pancake coils are
subjected to surge potentials and voltage oscillations, such as
those due to lightning and switching surges, as well as other
transient voltages on the electrical system, which develop high
turn-to-turn stresses, high interpancake stresses across the
cooling duct, and high stresses from the turns to the low voltage
winding and ground. The use of the wholly aromatic polyamide paper,
with its higher impulse fail strength would be excellent as turn
insulation 96, and it would provide a greater factor of safety
against faults due to the high transient stresses. Further, the
lower dielectric constant would provide less stress in the oil
filled cooling ducts than cellulosic insulation, resulting in less
ionization of the liquid dielectric and an improved corona level in
the transformer.
While the invention has been illustrated in combination with a
three-phase transformer of the core-form type, it will be
understood that it applies equally to single or polyphase
electrical apparatus, and to transformers of the shell-form type,
as well as to reactors, and any high voltage apparatus wherein
electrical conductors are insulated with solid insulation and
immersed in a liquid dielectric.
In summary, there has been disclosed new and improved electrical
apparatus of the liquid insulated and cooled type, wherein the
electrical conductors of the apparatus to be insulated include
solid insulation formed of a wholly aromatic polyamide paper, which
is impregnated with a liquid dielectric such as transformer mineral
oil, or the synthetic oils such as those containing chlorinated
diphenyl and tricholorobenzene. The impulse strength of impregnated
wholly aromatic polyamide paper, especially in thicknesses from two
through 10 mils, is substantially higher than the impulse strength
of impregnated rope-kraft paper. This high impulse strength,
coupled with its excellent mechanical strength, its thermal
stability, and its resistance to attack from the commonly used
liquid dielectrics, makes its use extremely attractive in those
applications where impulse strength is of the primary importance.
The 60 cycle puncture strength of wholly aromatic polyamide paper
is also better than rope-kraft paper.
Since density is not critical in determining the impulse strength
of wholly aromatic polyamide paper, the lowest density paper which
will maintain adequate turn separation in a pancake coil may be
used. In other words, the density should not be so low that it will
be compressed to the point of losing the desired dimensional
clearances.
Impulse strength of wholly aromatic polyamide paper is controlled
primarily by the thickness of the paper. Impulse strength in volts
per mil reaches a peak usually at two to three layers of paper,
then gradually tapers off as the thickness is increased, with the
volts per mil at 50 mils thickness being about 80 percent of
maximum.
The 60 cycle strengths of wholly aromatic polyamide papers in
thicknesses up to about five mils are appreciably higher than
cellulosic papers, and the 60 cycle strength of wholly aromatic
polyamide paper holds up well in multiple layers to about 20
mils.
Further, the dissipation factor of the wholly aromatic polyamide
papers shows only a moderate increase with increasing temperature,
unlike the cellulosic papers and the wholly aromatic polyamide
papers do not liberate water as a byproduct when they deteriorate.
Finally, except for the very high density wholly aromatic polyamide
papers, the dielectric constant of the wholly aromatic polyamide
papers is less than that of cellulosic papers, when impregnated
with liquid dielectric, which is significant in certain
applications such as high voltage cables and other areas where the
liquid dielectric will be directly stressed by the insulated
conductor.
Since numerous changes may be made in the above described apparatus
and different embodiments of the invention may be made without
departing from the spirit thereof, it is intended that all matter
contained in the foregoing description or shown in the accompanying
drawings, shall be interpreted as illustrative, and not in a
limiting sense.
