Vim li cas Tank Overpressure Protection txiav txim siab Substation Asset Safety
Thaum ib qho hluav taws xob ua txhaum ignites nyob rau hauv lub roj-immersed transformer tank, arc zog vaporizes insulating kua rau hauv combustible hydrocarbon gases nyob rau hauv milliseconds. Yog tias qhov kev nthuav dav tsis tau tso tawm lossis cais tawm tam sim ntawd, lub siab sab hauv nce los ntawm cov haujlwm nominal ntawm 2 mus rau 4 psi (14 mus rau 28 kPa) mus txog qhov kev puas tsuaj ntawm cov txheej txheem kev puas tsuaj ntau tshaj 15 mus rau 20 psi (103 mus rau 138 kPa). Tiv thaiv lub tank rupture, collateral hluav taws, thiab tsausmuag dielectric roj tsuag yuav tsum tau ib tug sib koom ua ke ob-txheej tiv thaiv: ib tug neeg kho tshuabtransformer siab nyem ntaus ntawvrau volumetric gas paug thiab hluav taws xobsudden siab relayrau ultra-ceev breaker tripping.
Kev qhia txog kev txo qis qis dua tsis yog hais txog kev xaiv lub kaus mom kev pab cuam los ntawm ib phau ntawv teev npe. Ib qho 500 kVA coj mus muag faib chav tsev thiab 30 MVA 115 kV hluav taws xob hluav taws xob hluav taws xob hloov hluav taws xob muaj kev cuam tshuam loj heev sib txawv zog. Cov neeg qhia tshwj xeeb yuav tsum suav cov qauv ntsuas cubic feet ib feeb (SCFM) tso tawm tus nqi, ntsuas lub caij nplooj ntoos hlav-loaded re-sealing yam ntxwv, thiab teeb tsa microswitch mus ncig ua si hauv qab nruj.IEEE Standards AssociationCov qauv suav nrog IEEE C57.12.00 thiab IEEE C57.12.10.
Slow Thermal Overpressure vs Fast Arcing Overpressure: Sizing lub Physics
Transformer tso tsheb hlau luam ntsib ob lub zog sib txawv ntawm cov txheej txheem sib txawv uas yuav tsum muaj cov cuab yeej tiv thaiv sib txawv. Thawj yog qeeb thermal overpressure, tshwm sim los ntawm ambient kub cycling, ncov lub caij ntuj sov load expansion, los yog me me localized core overheating. Hauv cov tso tsheb hlau luam kaw, lub cushion nitrogen lossis headspace cua compresses maj mam ntawm tus nqi qis dua 0.1 psi ib feeb. Qhov kev txhim kho maj mam no yog tswj hwm los ntawm kev nthuav dav ntawm lub tank thiab cov qauv ua pa.
Qhov thib ob mechanism yog ceev ceev dynamic overpressure tshwm sim los ntawm high-zog inter-tig rwb thaiv tsev tawg los yog winding flashover. Ib qho hluav taws xob arc dissipates ntau megajoules ntawm lub zog, tsim hydrogen, acetylene, thiab methane npuas uas tsim high-speed acoustic shockwaves nyob rau hauv cov roj. Thawj lub siab ua ntej txav los ntawm cov kua dielectric ntawm kwv yees li 1,200 txog 1,400 meters ib ob, tawm tsam cov phab ntsa tank ntev ua ntej cov khoom siv hluav taws xob ntau tuaj yeem ua rau lub cev tsis muaj rooj zaum. Tias yog vim li cas niaj hnub substation engineering sib txuas cov tshuab ua haujlwm siabtransformer siab nyem ntaus ntawvnrog ib tug dynamic rate-ntawm-ncesudden siab relay.
Kev nkag siab txog lub sijhawm dynamic no yog qhov tseem ceeb rau kev siv hluav taws xob thiab pab pawg muag khoom. Raws li daim phiaj infrastructure kev nyab xeeb hauv paus ntsiab lus tseem ceeb los ntawm lubUS Department of Energy (DOE), unmitigated transformer tank ruptures sawv cev rau ib qho ntawm cov kim tshaj plaws substation tsis ua hauj lwm hom, ua rau txuas ntxiv yuam kev tawm thiab ib puag ncig tu nqi uas dwarf thawj peev peev ntawm hwm Qualitrol tiv thaiv hardware.
Mechanical Pressure Relief Devices (PRD): Sizing Flow Rates thiab Resealing Pressure
Ib tug neeg kho tshuabtransformer siab nyem ntaus ntawvua hauj lwm ntawm direct sib txawv caij nplooj ntoos hlav quab yuam. Lub disc stainless hlau yog tuav tawm tsam Viton lossis silicone sealing gasket los ntawm calibrated compression springs. Thaum lub siab sab hauv siab tshaj qhov kev ua haujlwm ua ntej-calibrated-feem ntau lub Hoobkas teeb nruab nrab ntawm 7.0 psi thiab 10.0 psi (48 mus rau 69 kPa) rau lub hwj chim transformers, los yog 8 mus rau 12 psi rau me me tso tsheb hlau luam-lub disc lifts instantaneously nyob rau hauv 2 mus rau 4 milliseconds.
Kev tso tawm muaj peev xwm raug ntsuas hauv SCFM (tus qauv cubic feet ib feeb) ntawm huab cua sib npaug ntawm qhov ntsuas siab tshaj. Cov me me pad-mounted units siv phau ntawv rubpad mounted transformer siab nyem valventsuas ntawm 35 mus rau 50 SCFM ntawm 15 psi. Nyob rau hauv sib piv, loj substation units nrog roj ntim ntau tshaj 5,000 nkas loos xav tau hnyav-duty flanged mechanical nyem li (xws li Qualitrol 208 los yog 204 series) muaj peev xwm ntawm venting 6,000 mus rau 10,000 SCFM los ntawm ib tug integrated directional pa yeeb nkab.
Qhov tseem ceeb, kev ua raws caitransformer siab nyem ntaus ntawvyuav tsum muaj qhov zoo resealing muaj peev xwm. Thaum lub siab tshaj plaws los ntshav mus txog kwv yees li 4 mus rau 6 psi, lub caij nplooj ntoos hlav sab hauv quab yuam lub valve disc rov qab mus rau nws lub rooj, tiv thaiv atmospheric noo noo, los nag, los yog oxygen ingress uas yuav kis tau kub insulating roj. Ib lub teeb ci xim zoo nkauj tus pin tshwm sim thaum lub sijhawm ua haujlwm, tseem raug kaw rau hauv txoj haujlwm txuas ntxiv kom txog thaum pib rov pib dua los ntawm cov neeg ua haujlwm saib xyuas, thaum sib xyaw SPDT lossis DPDT microswitches xa lub tswb tam sim lossis kev mus ncig rau lub substation SCADA system.
Sudden Pressure Relays (SPR / RPRR): Cov Ntsiab Cai Ua Haujlwm thiab Kev Tiv Thaiv Kev Sib Tham
Thaum lub tshuab PRD vents bulk gas ntim los tiv thaiv lub tank deformation, ib qho hluav taws xob los yog hauv qab-ua kom muaj zogsudden siab relay(tseem hu ua Rapid Pressure Rise Relay lossis RPRR) muab kev pib hluav taws xob mus rau lub voj voog. Tsis zoo li qhov hloov pauv siab zoo li qub uas tos kom lub tank siab kom ncav cuag 10 psi, SPR paub qhov hloov pauv siab (dP / dt). Nws tsis quav ntsej qeeb ambient thermal swings (tsawg dua 0.1 psi / sec) tab sis actuates nyob rau hauv 10 mus rau 30 milliseconds thaum lub siab nce siab tshaj 0.5 mus rau 1.5 psi ib ob.
Specifiers tuaj yeem xaiv ntawm qhov chaw mounting thiab hauv qab-roj mounting configurations. Gas-cham relays (xws li Qualitrol Series 900) mount saum cov roj siab tshaj plaws thiab siv ob chav chamber sib txawv ntawm qhov sib cais los ntawm qhov ntsuas qhov nruab nrab. Nyob rau hauv-roj relays (xws li Qualitrol Series 910) mount hauv qab cov roj yam tsawg kawg nkaus ntawm lub tank sidewall, sensing hydraulic siab transients ncaj qha rau hauv lub incompressible kua kem.
Ntawm no yog ib feem feem ntau commissioning engineers nco: vim hais tias tam sim no siab sensors yog heev rhiab heev rau mechanical shock, seismic vibration, sab nraud los ntawm-fault electromagnetic rog, los yog cia li pib twj tso kua mis yuav momentary chatter cov zis sib cuag. IEEE C57.12.10 thiab cov txheej txheem tiv thaiv hluav taws xob tswj xyuas kev txuas cov khoom xa tawm mus rau qhov tshwj xeeb foob-hauv auxiliary relay (xws li ANSI Device 63X) nrog qhov tsawg kawg nkaus 20-millisecond filtering circuit thiab lockout latch (Device 86}) ua ntej xa cov lus txib mus rau thawj circuit breakers.
Field Engineering Insight: Commissioning Overpressure Protection without Nuisance Trips
Thaum peb xa cov roj-immersed thiab pad-mounted transformers rau cov neeg siv khoom lag luam thoob plaws North America, kev tiv thaiv kev sib koom ua ke yog ib qho ntawm cov kauj ruam tseem ceeb tshaj plaws. Thaum lub sijhawm ua haujlwm ua haujlwm rau 10 MVA 34.5 kV substation chav tsev ntawm lub chaw tsim khoom hnyav hauv Ohio, peb pawg neeg tsim khoom tau tshawb pom tias tus neeg ua haujlwm nyob rau hauv qhov chaw tau xaim xaim hluav taws xob tam sim ntawd hu ncaj qha mus rau hauv qhov tsis muaj PLC cov kev tawm tswv yim yam tsis muaj kev sib khi-hauv relay.
Thaum lub caij txias-huab cua pib lub zog, hnyav txhua yam kev co los ntawm qhov sib txuas forging presses ua rau kev sib tham sib tham, uas ua rau muaj kev cuam tshuam tsis sib xws ntawm lub tswb nrov. Peb pab neeg rewired lub voj voog ncig los ntawm kev mob siab rau 20-millisecond auxiliary seal-in relay thiab xyuas tias cov tshuabtransformer siab nyem ntaus ntawvtxwv cov keyboards tau raug tsaws rau ntawm kev saib xyuas lub tswb. Ua raws li cov kev hloov kho hauv cheeb tsam no, lub substation ua haujlwm nrog xoom cuav tswb thaum tuav tag nrho millisecond txhaum clearing peev.
Ua raws li cov qauv kev nyab xeeb hluav taws xob hluav taws xob tsim los ntawm covNational Fire Protection Association (NFPA), suav nrog NFPA 850 cov lus pom zoo rau kev tsim cov nroj tsuag thiab cov chaw ua haujlwm substations, xav kom txhua lub tswb tsis siv neeg overpressure raug kuaj xyuas qhov kawg mus rau qhov kawg ua ntej thawj cov roj filling thiab energization.
Sib piv Phau Ntawv Qhia: Overpressure Hardware Hla Transformer Classes
Xaiv qhov kev sib xyaw kom raug ntawm cov khoom siv tiv thaiv overpressure yog nyob ntawm qhov muaj peev xwm ntawm cov khoom siv hluav taws xob, qhov chaw kaw lus, qhov ntim dielectric, thiab cov qauv siv hluav taws xob sib txuas. Cov lus hauv qab no qhia txog cov txheej txheem kev teeb tsa thoob plaws cov chav kawm khoom siv thawj zaug:
