Abstract
Analysis of Polarization-Depolarization Current, recorded from high voltage oil-paper insulation using insulation model is common among researchers. It is reported that paper insulation of power transformers undergoes non-uniform aging. Unlike Conventional Debye Model (CDM), Modified Debye Model (MDM) is capable of modeling such non-uniform aging. However, factors like insulation geometry affect the values of the MDM branch parameters. Therefore, model parameterized using data obtained from one insulation system finds limited use in assessing the condition of a different transformer, even with similar loading history and power rating. The present paper shows that a performance parameter, which is less sensitive to insulation geometry, can be evaluated from Transfer Function, TFM(s) of MDM. The parameter is the zero Z1 of TFM(s) which is located farthest away from the origin in the Left Half Plane of s-plane. The capability of Z1 as an insulation condition sensitive parameter is first tested on laboratory samples and then on data recorded from several real life power transformers. Results obtained for these transformers show that there is a good correlation between magnitude of Z1 and paper moisture content obtained from Frequency Domain Spectroscopy (FDS) using IDAX 300.Keywords
