Contents

Under usual assumptions the equations describing thermal phenomena in a transformer are established. Without neglecting any substantially important factor, algorithms are developed for predicting the temperatures in critical spots in non-stationary states occurring either in practice or in load/time diagrams. This paper suggests the determinaton of conductances dependent on temperature and constant capacitances of equivalent thermal circuits of a transformer. They are based on a small number of experiments (as simple as possible) and on a parameter estimation procedure. In such a way the temperatures of transformer parts in different transient states can be determined by computer simulation established on equivalent circuits, so the operators in power and sub-stations will be able to load their transformers close to the permitted limit. It is felt that this paper may give a stimulation for a possible revision of IEC rules.

Übersicht

Die Gleichungen des Temperaturverhaltens eines Transformators werden unter den üblichen Annahmen aufgestellt. Es werden Algorithmen entwickelt, welche die Vorausbestimmung der Temperatur an kritischen Stellen bei nichtstationärem Betrieb erlauben. Vorgeschlagen wird die Bestimmung der temperaturabhängigen und-unabhängigen Parameter auf Grund von wenigen und einfachen Messungen. Damit kann das Personal in Verteilerstationen in die Lage versetzt werden, mit Hilfe von PC's die Belastung der Transformatoren bis zu den zulässigen Grenztemperaturen auszudehnen. Die Autoren möchten damit einen Anstoß zu einer möglichen Überarbeitung von IEC-Vorschriften geben.
