We'll introduce the daily maintenance of reactors.
Preventing oil leakage: Oil-immersed anti-electrical devices are filled with anti-electrical oil in the tank, and are sealed by pressurizing the oil-resistant rubber components during assembly. Poor sealing is a major factor contributing to oil leakage, so special attention should be paid to looseness during maintenance. Check if small parts have moved after a power outage; if so, protect them, tighten them appropriately and consistently. Check if the rubber is broken or severely deformed. For rubber parts that can be replaced, ensure that their model and specifications are consistent and keep the sealing surfaces clean. Preventing reactor moisture: Reactors are high-voltage equipment and require good insulation performance.
After the reactor is manufactured, it is very susceptible to moisture during storage. The longer it is stored, the more serious the moisture absorption will be. Therefore, it is necessary to make good plans and shorten the storage time as much as possible.
Small reactors with a capacity of 100 kVA and below do not have desiccant devices. The oil in the oil conservator is prone to moisture absorption, and water may accumulate in the conservator. If the reactor has been stored without power for more than six months or has been in operation for more than one year, the oil in the oil conservator will be severely damp. Before lifting, transporting, refueling, draining oil from the oil valve, or lifting the core, the dirty oil in the oil conservator should be drained through the drain plug under the oil conservator first. The conservator should then be wiped clean with a dry cloth and sealed to prevent dirty oil from entering the oil tank.
During reactor operation, it is essential to frequently monitor changes in oil level, oil temperature, voltage, and current. Any abnormalities should be analyzed and addressed promptly. During reactor installation, it is strictly forbidden to connect aluminum stranded wires, aluminum busbars, or similar materials to the reactor's copper conductors, as this may corrode the conductors.
