GIS Voltage Transformer Technology Optimization Solution: Technological Innovation Enhancing Insulation Performance and Measurement Accuracy
Ⅰ. Analysis of Technical Challenges
Traditional GIS (Gas-Insulated Switchgear) voltage transformers face two core problems in complex grid environments:
- Insufficient Insulation System Reliability
- SF₆ gas impurities (moisture, decomposition byproducts) cause surface discharges, leading to insulation degradation.
- Temperature fluctuations (-40°C to +80°C) cause gas density changes, reducing partial discharge inception voltage (PDIV).
- Measurement Accuracy Degradation
- Temperature drift of core permeability (typical drift: 0.05%/K).
- System frequency fluctuations (±2Hz) cause ratio/phase angle errors to exceed limits.
Field data indicates: Conventional devices can exhibit measurement errors up to class 0.5 under extreme conditions, with an annual failure rate exceeding 3%.
