Recovery Voltage Modelling of Transformer Insulation

Date:
2000-2003
Themes:
Nanomaterials and Dielectrics, HV Transformers
Funding:
The National Grid Company plc

Recovery Voltage is a phenomenon of polymeric insulators. It is believed to have close relationship with the aging state and moisture content of the insulator. However the interpretation of the measurement is still open to debate, therefore the aim of this project is to study the relationship of measurement with relevant parameters under controlled environment. This will then lead to a model that will be applicable in actual transformer diagnosis.
