Study on Fretting Wear Mechanism between Transformer Oil - Immersed Insulation Papers

Abstract

In order to analyze the influence of transformer vibration on the winding oil - immersed insulation paper, the friction and wear tester UMT - 2 was used to test the such paper based on the damage phenomenon of transformer winding oil - immersed insulation paper under the influence of magnetic excitation fretting. Oil paper - oil paper friction was realized by wrapping oil - immersed insulation paper with the same thickness as the friction pair on the outer side of the upper sphere specimen. The influence of paper thickness and normal load on the wear of oil paper - oil paper friction process was determinated through an analysis of the friction coefficient collected during the test and the damage state of oil - immersed insulation paper. Results showed that under the same normal load and friction times, the number of damaged layers decreased and the friction coefficient increased with the increase of the thickness of oil - immersed insulation paper. For the oil - immersed insulation paper with the same thickness, the number of damaged layers increased and the friction coefficient decreased with the increase of friction times and normal load. The main wear mechanism of oil paper - oil paper friction was the combined action of adhesive wear, abrasive wear and delamination wear.
