Analysis of Gas Concentration in High - Voltage Reactors of Large - Scale Hydroelectric Generator Sets
1.Gas Generation and Analysis Principle of High - Voltage ReactorsHigh - voltage reactors use oil and insulating paper for insulation. Normal operation may see local overheating or discharges (e.g., iron core/winding issues, inter - turn short circuits), causing insulation cracking and producing gases like hydrocarbons (methane, etc.), CO, CO2, H2). These gases reflect internal insulation status, enabling real - time monitoring.For closed oil - filled reactors, insulation aging and oil oxidation
