1. If the oil position drops below the oil monitoring line, there is a danger of malfunction of the gas protection device, and the oil position and oil color cannot be monitored.
2. The position of the oil drops below the top cover of the transformer, the contact area between the oil and the air increases, the oil is easy to absorb water and oxidize, which accelerates the deterioration of the oil. When moisture enters the oil, the insulation strength of the winding will decrease, and the iron core and other parts will rust.
3. When the oil leakage causes serious defects, the grounding and mutual insulation strength of the conductive parts of the transformer will be greatly reduced, and it will be easily damaged when voltage is applied.
4. When the transformer oil cannot be immersed in the connection switch, the high-voltage winding will be short-circuited due to leakage and discharge between the joints.
5. When the oil position is lower than the nozzle on the heat pipe, the oil cannot circulate and convection, causing the temperature of the transformer to rise and burning the transformer.
Transformer manufacturers analyze the causes of insufficient transformer oil
1) During the inspection or test, no oil is added after the transformer is drained;
2) Long-term oil leakage or a large amount of oil leakage in the transformer;
3) The air temperature is too low, the tank oil volume is insufficient, or the tank design volume is too small to meet the requirements of use.
