Abstract

Knowledge about moisture content in impregnated cellulose insulation is essential for power transformers when estimating remaining lifetime, planning operating conditions and drying procedure. Frequency dielectric spectroscopy (FDS) is non-destructive, convenient method to asses moisture content of insulation. It is important to study dielectric response of ester-cellulose insulation due to growing number of transformers using synthetic ester MIDEL 7131 as insulation fluid [1, 2]. The paper presents study of dielectric response of synthetic ester-pressboard samples with various moisture content (from dry to 5%) measured in wide temperature range (from 5 ˚C to 50 ˚C). Measurement results for pressboard impregnated with synthetic ester are compared to data of pressboard impregnated with mineral oil. The aim of presented work is to provide patterns of dielectric response of synthetic esterpressboard for accurate moisture content evaluation.
