Insulating the World’s Largest HVDC Transformers
High-voltage, direct current (HVDC) transformers have long been an innovative tool for establishing strong power networks. However, complex requirements and poor component stability can jeopardize the entire network. Fortunately, Weidmann is on hand to ensure strict cleanliness, component stability, and tolerances with our HVDC insulation components. Previously, most HVDC projects were in North America and [...] weiterlesenCellulose Insulation Paper Testing: Three Key Tests
Cellulose insulation has been used as solid insulation in power transformers for over 80 years. However, despite its sustainable credentials and excellent dielectric properties, cellulosic material for electrical applications has many challenges, mainly related to the degradation process. IEEE Xplore's 'Determining the aging parameters of cellulosic insulation in a transformer' cites: "The original properties of [...] weiterlesenWeidmann confirms belief about thermal class of Transformerboard
Do you know the thermal class of Transformerboard* as part of the industry-proven insulation system used in liquid-filled transformers? Maybe you need to think again. For decades, some have considered transformer pressboard to be rated simply to 105 °C. Some in the industry have even alluded to the necessity of ‘chemical treatments’ to slow down [...] weiterlesenTransformerboard III Book Launch
