Temperature Researches of Porcelain Insulator

Abstract:

When porcelain insulator operates in a harsh environment for a long time, it will cause leakage current increase, and lead to heating phenomenon. As a result, the temperature of porcelain insulator can be changed, which probably due to crack, breakdown or other factors. In order to reflect the working state of the porcelain insulator, to monitor the temperature of porcelain insulator, optical fiber Bragg grating temperature sensors are installed respectively on the steel cap and the porcelain of porcelain insulator. In the interaction of industrial frequency voltage test of 15kV, thus the temperature of porcelain insulator can be distributed. The temperature of the porcelain insulator affects the center wavelength of optical fiber Bragg grating temperature sensors, which are installed on porcelain insulator. The tests show that in the pure condition, the temperature of porcelain insulator's steel cap and porcelain respectively rise 1.4°C and 1.5°C, in the polluted condition, the temperature of porcelain insulator's steel cap and porcelain respectively rise 5.8°C and 6.3°C, in the pollution level II condition, the temperature of Porcelain insulator's steel cap and porcelain respectively rise 6.8°C and 7.2°C. Therefore, by using optical fiber Bragg grating temperature sensors to monitor the change of porcelain insulator's temperature, combined with the researches of temperature characteristics, can directly reflect the porcelain insulator's working situation and real-time online monitoring.
