37、peThis guide recommends tests1and evaluation procedures, as well as criteria and methods of maintenance,for less flammable hydrocarbon (LFH) transformer insulating fluids. These liquids are also known as highmolecular weight hydrocarbon (HMWH) fluids. HMWH dielectric fluids are hereby defined as tho

38、se fluidshaving an ASTM D92 fire point of 300 C or greater, being primarily composed of, but not restricted to,hydrocarbons. These fluids meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC) (NFPA 70-1999),2Article 450-23, as a less flammable dielectric for use in indoor applications when use

39、d in properlydesigned and installed transformers. Ester- and silicone-based fluids are not covered by this guide. Methodsof reconditioning LFH fluids are also described. It is not the intent of this guide to address retrofilling trans-formers with LFH fluids. Any such substitution of fluids should b

40、e performed only after consultation withthe manufacturers of fluid and equipment. Where instructions given by the transformer or fluid manufactur-ers differ from those given in this guide, the manufacturers instructions are to be given preference.1.2 PurposeThe purpose of this guide is to assist the

41、 transformer operator in evaluating and processing LFH fluidsreceived in new transformers, as received from the fluid manufacturer for filling transformers, and as pro-cessed into such equipment. It also assists the operator in maintaining the fluid in serviceable condition. Thisguide, therefore, re

42、commends standard tests and evaluation procedures, methods of reconditioning andreclaiming LFH fluids, and the analysis results at which these processes become necessary. It will alsoaddress the routines for restoring resistance to oxidation, where desired, by the addition of inhibitors.1All test me

43、thods used to evaluate LFH fluids should be the latest versions available from the American Society of Testing and Materi-als, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, West Conshohocken, PA, 19428-2959, USA (http:/www.astm.org/).2Information on references can be found in Clause 2.IEEEStd C57.121-1998 IEEE GUIDE FOR A

44、CCEPTANCE AND MAINTENANCE OF2Copyright 1998 IEEE. All rights reserved.1.3 System designThe reliable performance of LFH fluids in an insulation system depends upon certain basic fluid characteristicsthat can affect overall apparatus characteristics. Such fluid characteristics are integral to equipmen

45、t design forwhich the manufacturer has final responsibility. The reliable operation of the equipment in service, for whichthe transformer operator has final responsibility, also depends on maintaining certain basic fluid characteristics.Adherence to the recommended fluid characteristics will assist

46、in obtaining the desired equipment characteris-tics. Other tests or verification of the integrity of the insulation system are often necessary.The essential properties of insulating fluids used in transformers must be maintained if the fluid is to performits multiple role as an electrical insulating

47、 and heat transfer agent. It must have adequate dielectric strengthto withstand the electric stresses imposed in service. It must have a certain combination of thermal conduc-tivity, specific heat, and viscosity so that its ability to transfer heat is sufficient for the particular equipment.It must

48、have sufficiently high flash point and fire point to meet safety requirements. The fluids dielectriclosses should not become excessive. The LFH fluid should not be allowed to become so deteriorated or con-taminated that it adversely affects other materials in the apparatus, nor should deterioration

49、products(sludge) impair its circulation through cooling ducts. If the purpose of using an HMWH is to comply withNEC Article 450-23 requires that less flammable transformer liquids have an ASTM D92 fire point of notless than 300 C and that the installation complies with all restrictions provided for in the listing of the fluid.1.4 Background information1.4.1 Mixtures of LFH fluids with other liquidsLFH fluids are miscible and compatible with other hydrocarbon insulating liquids as well as with haloge-nated hydrocarbons. Mixtures with conventional transformer oil will lower
