ایکلی کے دسٹریبوشن ترانسفرمر، بجلی کے نظام میں ولٹیج کے تبدیلی اور بجلی کے تقسیم کے لئے اہم معدات ہیں، جو زیادہ تر کسانی علاقوں، کم ولٹیج رہائشی علاقوں، اور ایکلی کے لاڈ کے مرکوز علاقوں میں وسیع طور پر استعمال ہوتے ہیں۔ ایکلی کے لاڈ کا تناسب دسٹریبوشن نیٹ ورک میں مسلسل بڑھنے کے ساتھ، ایکلی کے ترانسفرمرز کے فیلرز کی شرح بھی بڑھ گئی ہے۔ ان فیلرز کی وقت پر شناخت اور درست کرنے کا بہت اہم مفید ہے تاکہ بجلی کی فراہمی کو یقینی بنایا جا سکے۔ تازہ تحقیقات کے مطابق، ایکلی کے دسٹریبوشن ترانسفرمرز کے عام فیلرز پانچ قسم کے ہیں: وائنڈنگ فیلرز، آنسولیشن کی بوڑھاپ، تیل کی لوٹن، غیر معمولی درجہ حرارت، اور کم ولٹیج ٹیپ فیلرز۔ ان فیلرز نہ صرف ترانسفرمر کے صحیح کام کرنے کو روک سکتے ہیں بلکہ معدات کی تباہی اور بجلی کی فراہمی کی روکاوٹ کا باعث بھی ہوسکتے ہیں۔ اس مضمون میں مختلف فیلرز کی وجہوں، خصوصیات، اور درست کرنے کے طرائق کا جامع تجزیہ کیا گیا ہے، بجلی کے نظام کے آپریشن اور مینٹیننس کے عملاء کے لئے عملی ہدایت فراہم کرتا ہے۔
1. وائنڈنگ فیلرز
وائنڈنگ فیلرز ایکلی کے دسٹریبوشن ترانسفرمرز میں سب سے زیادہ ملتے ہیں، جس میں وائنڈنگ کے درمیان کور کٹ، اوپن سرکٹ، اور گراؤنڈنگ فیلرز شامل ہیں۔ ان کی اصل وجہ آنسولیشن میٹریل کی بوڑھاپ، مکینکل نقصان، یا تیاری کے نقصانات ہوتے ہیں۔ وائنڈنگ میں درمیان کور کٹ کی وجہ سے ترانسفرمر کے اندر مقامی طور پر گرمی کی وضاحت ہوتی ہے، آنسولیشن کی بوڑھاپ کو تیز کرتی ہے، اور آخر کار وائنڈنگ کی کل تباہی کا باعث بنتی ہے۔ تحقیقات کے مطابق، جب ترانسفرمر کے وائنڈنگ میں کچھ ہلکا کور کٹ ہوتا ہے تو روایتی ڈیوائسز جیسے ڈیفرنشل پروٹیکشن اور گیس پروٹیکشن کی ابتدائی مرحلے میں کام کرنے کی ضرورت نہیں ہوتی، جس کی وجہ سے آپریشن اور مینٹیننس کے عملاء کی فیلر شناخت کی صلاحیتوں پر زیادہ اہمیت ہوتی ہے۔

2. Insulation Aging Faults
Insulation aging is the second most common fault in single - phase distribution transformers, including the aging of solid insulation materials and the deterioration of oil insulation. Insulation aging will reduce the insulation performance of the transformer and accelerate the overall aging of the equipment. According to statistics, it can shorten the designed service life (35 - 40 years) of the transformer to about 20 years, which is particularly prominent in transformers that have been in long - term operation, in harsh environments, or with insufficient operation and maintenance.

3. Oil Leakage Faults
Oil leakage is a frequent and harmful fault in single - phase distribution transformers. It accounts for more than 40% of the faults in power transformers, which will affect the insulation and heat dissipation performance, and cause equipment fire, pollution, and economic losses.
(1) Fault Manifestations
(2) Fault Causes
Aging/damage of seals, weld cracking, improper bushing installation, loose connections caused by vibration, oil tank rust, and abnormal oil pressure caused by a blocked breather.

4. Abnormal Temperature Faults
Abnormal temperature is a key fault type in single - phase distribution transformers, including winding overheating, local overheating of the iron core, and oil temperature rise. It is the "trigger" for faults such as insulation aging, oil leakage, and winding deformation. According to IEC standards, when the hottest spot temperature reaches 140°C, bubbles will be generated in the oil, which will reduce insulation or cause flashover, damaging the transformer.
(1) Fault Manifestations
(2) Fault Causes
Transformer overload, internal faults (winding/iron core short circuit), cooling system faults, high ambient temperature, insufficient oil volume due to poor sealing, and poor installation ventilation.

5. Low - voltage Tap Faults
Low - voltage tap faults are unique to single - phase distribution transformers, including poor contact, open circuits, and wrong connections. Because the low - voltage side mostly adopts a tap - off design (such as three/four taps), the connection quality directly affects the output voltage and operation stability, which is common in transformers with large load fluctuations and insufficient operation and maintenance.

(2) Fault Causes
Poor tap welding, oxidation of the contact surface, insecure installation, failure to restore connections during operation and maintenance, large contact resistance caused by a humid environment, and contact point wear caused by load fluctuations.

6. Application of Intelligent Monitoring Technology in Fault Diagnosis
With the development of the smart grid, the traditional diagnosis mode relying on manual experience and simple instruments has gradually been replaced by intelligent monitoring technology. The fault diagnosis system based on artificial intelligence can monitor the operation status in real - time, early - warn risks in advance, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis.
(1) Mainstream Technologies
Infrared Sensing Temperature Measurement: With an accuracy of ±1°C, it can accurately detect abnormal temperatures.
Acoustic Signature Recognition Diagnosis: Analyze the frequency and characteristics of the operation sound to distinguish between normal and fault sounds.
Analysis of Dissolved Gases in Oil: Detect the content of characteristic gases to determine the type and degree of internal faults.
Machine Learning System: Integrate multiple parameters to establish a fault prediction model.
(2) Application Effects
After applying infrared temperature measurement, a power company increased the fault detection rate by 65% and shortened the processing time by 40%; acoustic signature recognition can detect winding faults 3 - 6 months in advance. The intelligent system can also locate faults and evaluate the severity, providing a basis for operation and maintenance decisions.
7. Maintenance and Prevention Measures for Single - phase Transformers
Most faults of single - phase distribution transformers are related to long - term operation, environment, and insufficient operation and maintenance. Establishing a scientific maintenance system and implementing preventive measures are the keys to reducing faults and extending service life.
(1) Daily Maintenance
(2) Classified Prevention
Winding Faults: Avoid overload and conduct regular insulation tests.
Insulation Aging: Operate at a controlled temperature and conduct regular oil quality detection.
Oil Leakage: Regularly check the seal and strengthen fixation in vibrating environments.
Abnormal Temperature: Optimize installation, ensure ventilation, and install temperature monitoring devices.
Tap Faults: Regularly check connections, use high - quality welding processes, and prevent moisture in humid environments.
(3) Standard Adaptation and Optimization
Select high - efficiency transformers according to GB20052 - 2020 to reduce losses and temperature rise; operate multiple units in parallel in high - load areas to reduce the load pressure on a single unit; strengthen environmental management to reduce external erosion.
8. Conclusions and Recommendations
The common faults of single - phase distribution transformers are interrelated, and most are caused by a single factor leading to multiple types of fault manifestations. Building a complete fault diagnosis system that integrates traditional experience and intelligent technology can improve the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis.
Operation and Maintenance Management Recommendations
Monitoring System: Establish a comprehensive monitoring system for multiple parameters such as temperature, sound, and oil quality to master the status in real - time.
Environment Optimization: Optimize the installation position and method to reduce environmental impact.
Pre - maintenance Tests: Regularly conduct preventive tests (insulation resistance tests, oil quality detection, etc.) to identify hidden dangers.
Dynamic Adjustment: Adjust the operation mode and transformer capacity according to load changes.
Technology Upgrade: Adopt high - efficiency and intelligent monitoring equipment to improve efficiency and diagnosis ability.
The development of the smart grid helps the fault diagnosis and management of single - phase distribution transformers to move towards intelligence and refinement. It is recommended that power companies introduce new technologies and standards, build a big data health management system, realize early fault warning and precise diagnosis, and improve the reliability and economy of the distribution network.
