CHEMISTRY AND COMPOSITION OF OIL
Transformer oils are made from a mixture of Paraffinic (CP), Naphthenic (CN) and Aromatic (CA) molecules in varying proportions and all the three components are essential in certain proportion for good and long performance of the transformers .
![Page 4: Presentation Transformer Oil](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050616/546831c5b4af9f533f8b5bfe/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Difference between Naphthenic oil and Paraffinic Base oil :
Pour point of Paraffinic base oil is more than Naphthenic base oil.
Naphthenic based oils are more easily oxidized as compared to paraffinic oils
the Naphthenic based oil has 25% reduced viscosity at 70ºCdue to which it act as a better coolant

CONDITION MONITORING OF TRANSFORMER OIL
ELECTRICAL PARAMETRS
DIELECTRIC STRENGTH
Popularly known as BDV. BDV of oil is the AC voltage which causes spark between two electrodes placed in the oil under test at the standard distance of 2.5mm.
Indicator of solid impurities and water content present in the oil
BDV of the oil within transformer goes down slowly as the water content and conducting impurities increase as a result of oxidation of oil
The minimum value of BDV is (30KVrms) for new unfiltered oil and 60KV(rms)(min.) after filtration
![Page 13: Presentation Transformer Oil](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050616/546831c5b4af9f533f8b5bfe/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
SPECIFIC RESISTANCE (resistivity)
Also called resistivity . It is the DC resistance of volume of oil of unit cross sectional area and unit length
It should be as high as possible .
An increase in temperature reduces the resistivity .
The value of resistivity is considered as 35x1012 ohm-cm at 90ºC and 1500x1012 ohm-cm at 27ºC. The resistivity of the used oil at 90ºC may be taken as 0.1x1012 ohm- cm(min.).
![Page 14: Presentation Transformer Oil](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050616/546831c5b4af9f533f8b5bfe/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
DIELECTRIC DISSIPATION FACTOR
Popularly known as Tan delta or loss factor Reveals presence of contaminants picked by oil ,derived
due to oxidation, poor manufacture or bad use of equipment.
High value of DDF leads to increased 1. heating leading to thermal runway 2. corrosion & oxidation 3. water solubility and emulsifying power. Low value of DDF– ensures freedom from moisture, polar
compounds, soluble impurities and minimum energy loss.
![Page 15: Presentation Transformer Oil](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050616/546831c5b4af9f533f8b5bfe/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

:
CHEMICAL PARAMETRS
WATER CONTENT Presence of water in oil adversely affect the
dielectric properties of the oil. Water present in oil is absorbed by the solid
insulation of the transformer. The water present in oil is measured in ppm and
measured with sophisticated instruments like Karl/Fischer
The max. value of water in new transformer oil may be taken as 50ppm followed by 20ppm in used oil.
![Page 17: Presentation Transformer Oil](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050616/546831c5b4af9f533f8b5bfe/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
ACIDITY/ NEUTRALISATION NUMBER : Measure of acidity in new & used mineral Insulating
oils Expressed in number of mg of KOH required to
neutralize 1g of oil. Limits 1) New oil -- --- 0.03mg KOH/g (max)
2) Service oil --- 0.3 mg KOH/g
![Page 18: Presentation Transformer Oil](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050616/546831c5b4af9f533f8b5bfe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CORROSION TEST: To detect any traces of free or combined sulphur
that may be present in an oil . The presence of sulphur promotes oxidation and
also corrodes the copper and silver metal points of the equipment.
Colour of copper after test : Orange red , Multi coloured ---New corrosive Black, grey or brown--- Corrosive New insulating oil is required to be non Corrosive.
![Page 19: Presentation Transformer Oil](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050616/546831c5b4af9f533f8b5bfe/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
OXIDATION STABILITY : Another method to determine the quality of New
insulating oil with respect to oxidative Degradation. IS consists in ageing 25g of the oil at 100ºC for 164
hours during which oxygen at the rate of one litre/ hour is bubbled into the oil.
The maximum limits fixed for new oils are acidity
0.4mg KOH/gm and sludge 0.1 percent by weight. PRESENCE OF OXIDATION INHIBITER: The Indian Standards IS:335 (1993) is applicable to
only unhibited oils .
![Page 20: Presentation Transformer Oil](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050616/546831c5b4af9f533f8b5bfe/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Oil containing any amine or phenolic type of inhibitors is not accepted.

SAMPLING: Properly retrieving a sample of oil is important to ensure
that it is a true representative of oil in the equipment sample should be drawn when the equipment is warm. For Forced oil cooled transformers , the oil pumps should
be run for at least 10 minutes before sample is drawn . Two samples instead of one drawn at a time . Sample containers must be full , wrapped, labeled and
sealed. CELULOSE DEGRADATION : For a transformer with healthy cellulose insulation the
ratio of the CO2/CO is expected to be in the range of 3 to11 . CO2 and CO are also produced due to oil break down, moisture content and temperature of degradation and some times this ratio may lead to wrong indications
![Page 39: Presentation Transformer Oil](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050616/546831c5b4af9f533f8b5bfe/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
FURANIC COMPOUNDS: Test have been developed which detect oil soluble
breakdown products of the cellulose chain called furanic compounds.
The 5 compunds namely are: 5-Hydroxymethyl-2- furaldehyde 2-furfural alcohol 2-furfuralhyde 2-acetylfuran 5-methyle-2-furalhydeAmong these 2-furfural is the most significant
![Page 40: Presentation Transformer Oil](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050616/546831c5b4af9f533f8b5bfe/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Relationship between DP(Degree of Polymerization) value and the amount of furanic concentration in the oil:
Lower DP values indicate increased furfural content when paper samples were subjected to heating over a long period.
Filtration of oil removes already existing furan temporarily and they re-appear in their original concentration levels after 6 months.
Limits of furan are as prescribed by CPRI are:
TOTAL FURAN (PPB) CONDITION
0-100 Normal
101-250 Questionable
![Page 41: Presentation Transformer Oil](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050616/546831c5b4af9f533f8b5bfe/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
251-1000 Deteriorated
1001-2500 Low reliable>2500 Replace the windings
ANALYSIS OF METALS IN OIL: Diagnostic or investigative tool when other system
indicate an incipient-fault condition. The most common metals dissolved in the oil could be
iron copper or aluminum depending upon the coil construction.
Since new oil in transformers should not have significant quantities of any dissolved or particulate metals any appreciable increase of metals in the oil could be an indicator of where a problem may exists
![Page 42: Presentation Transformer Oil](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050616/546831c5b4af9f533f8b5bfe/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE FOR THE INSULATING OIL IN TRANSFORMERS :
Oil level of the transformer should be checked at frequent interval and leakage of oil should be investigated.
All leaks should be repaired as quick as possible . The oil for topping up should preferably be from the
some source as the original oil . Samples of oil should be taken at regular intervals
and tested Don’t rely upon the dielectric strength of the oil. Reconditioning by centrifugal separation or filtration
doesn’t remove the acidity from oil but will remove sludge, dust, dirt etc
![Page 43: Presentation Transformer Oil](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050616/546831c5b4af9f533f8b5bfe/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Filter with fullers earth will help the reduce acidity in the oil and in addition improve the resistivity.
If BDV is below 40KV and 50KV for HV & EHV respectively the oil should be reconditioned by passing through filter machine. If acidity is increasing rapidly or exceeds above 0.5mg, KOH/gm of oil, the oil should be treated for improvement to 0.5 of less.
If the Tan delta of oil is increasing rapidly and exceeds above 0.01 to 0.2, oil should be treated for improvement to 0.01 or less.
![Page 44: Presentation Transformer Oil](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022050616/546831c5b4af9f533f8b5bfe/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
CONCLUSIONS; All tests have to be carried out as per IS:1866
systematically and periodically, as a part of maintenance schedule.
The periodic testing will help O&M personnel to build up databank and case histories of Power Transformers.
Periodic testing will help to know the oil condition as well to know growing of any incipient faults by Dissolved Gas Analysis.
