FIGURE 3.13.7 Load-tap-changer motor current during a tap-changing event. FIGURE 3.13.8 Sample motor-current-index curve. 3.13.3.4.2 Thermal Diagnostics for On-Load Tap Changers A variety of diagnostic algorithms for on-load tap changers can be implemented using temperature data. The heat-transfer pattern resulting from energy losses results in a temperature profile that is easily measured with external temperature sensors. Temperature profiles are normally influenced by weather conditions, cooling-bank status, and electrical load. However, abnormal sources of energy (losses) also impact the temperature profile, thus providing a method of detection. The following four electrical/ thermal parameters can be monitored on-line. [ 3.13.3.4.2.1 Temperature — The simplest temperature-related diagnostic involves monitoring the temperature level. Load-tap-changer temperature in excess of a certain level may be an indication of equipment trouble. However, there are also many factors that normally influence temperature level. One LTCmonitoring system measures the temperature of the diverter-switch oil and the main-tank oil temperature as a way to estimate the overload capacity of the tap changer. 3.13.3.4.2.2 Simple Differential Temperature — Another simple algorithm involves monitoring the temperature difference between the main tank and load-tap-changer compartment for those tap-changer designs in which the tap changer is in a compartment separate from the main tank. Under normal operating conditions, the main-tank temperature is higher than the tap-changer compartment temperature. This result is expected, given the energy losses in the main tank and general flow of thermal energy from that point to other regions of the equipment. Differential temperature is most effective on external tap-changer designs because this arrangement naturally results in larger temperature differences. Smaller differences are expected on tap changers that are physically located inside the main tank. Many factors influence differential temperature. Excessive losses caused by bad contacts in the tap changer are detectable. However, load-tap-changer temperature can exceed main-tank temperature periodically under normal conditions. Short-term (hourly) variations in electrical load, weather conditions, and cooling-bank activation can result in main-tank temperatures below the tap changer. Reliable diagnostic algorithms must account for these normal variations in some way. Figure 3.13.9 is a graphical representation of the top-oil temperature in the main tank and of the LTC compartment temperature. 3.13.3.4.2.3 Differential Temperature with Trending — Trending is one method used to distinguish between normal and abnormal differential temperature. When the load-tap-changer temperature exceeds the main-tank temperature, the temperature trends are examined. If the tap-changer temperature is decreasing, this is deemed a normal condition. However, if the tap changer temperature exceeds the main-tank temperature and is increasing, an equipment problem may be indicated. 3.13.3.4.2.4 Temperature Index — Another method used to examine temperature differential involves computing the area between the two temperature curves over a rolling window of time (usually one week). This quantity is called the temperature index and is usually expressed in units of degree-hours. Normal temperature difference (main tank above tap changer) is counted as “negative” area, and the reverse is “positive” area. Therefore, over a period of seven days, the index reflects the general relationship between the two measurements without changing significantly due to normal daily variations in © 2004 by CRC Press LLC © 2004 by CRC Press LLC
temperature. Under abnormal conditions, the index will exhibit an increasing trend as the load tap changer tends to run hotter relative to the main tank. This method eliminates false alarms associated with simple differential monitoring, but it responds slowly to abnormal conditions. A change in tapchanger temperature characteristics that takes place over the course of several hours will require several days to be reflected in the index. This response time is usually adequate, as the problem developing within the LTC normally requires an extended period to progress to the point where maintenance is required. 3.13.3.4.3 Vibro-Acoustic Monitoring The vibrations caused by various mechanical movements during a tap-changing operation can be recorded and analyzed for signs of deterioration. This provides continuous control of the transition time as well as an indication of contact wear and detection of sudden mechanical-rupture faults (Bengtsson et al., 1998). Acoustic monitoring of on-load tap changers has been under development. The LTC operation can be analyzed by recording the acoustic signature and comparing it with the running average representative of recent operations. The signal is analyzed in distinct frequency bands, which facilitates the distinction between problems with electrical causes and those with mechanical causes. Every operation of the tap changer produces a characteristic acoustic wave, which propagates through the oil and structure of the transformer. Field measurements show that in the case of a properly functioning tap changer, this vibration pattern proves to be very repeatable over time for a given operation. The acoustic signal is split into two frequency bands. Experience has shown that electrical problems (arcing when there should not be any, notably as for the case of a vacuum-switch-assist LTC) are detected in a higher frequency band than those mechanical in nature (excessive wear or ruptured springs). This system has the intelligence to distinguish imminent failure conditions and normal wear of the LTC to allow for just-in-time maintenance (Foata et al., 1999). 3.13.3.4.4 Dissolved-Gas Analysis Analysis of gases dissolved in the oil in the load-tap-changer compartment is proving to be a useful diagnostic. Key gases for this analysis include acetylene and ethylene. However, any conclusions to be drawn from a correlation of measured dissolved-gas concentrations with certain types of faults are not yet well documented. The study is complicated by the fact that the basic design and the materials used in the particular tap changer are found to significantly affect the DGA results.
