Abstract

In large oil-filled power transformers, pressboard and paper in conjunction with oil are used throughout to provide electrical insulation. Microscopic views have shown that pressboard insulation is a fibrous and porous structure with a non-homogeneous surface. The porosity of pressboard can result in impurities within the oil being drawn into the oil-impregnated pressboard. The material properties and geometry of pressboard thus lead to a complex oil-pressboard interface. A 2-D model of oil-pressboard interface considering the porous and nonhomogeneous of pressboard has been constructed using Finite Element Analysis software, COMSOL Multiphysics. This paper discusses the mathematical equations used to study the electric double layer (EDL) at the oil-pressboard interface where the oil is in a stationary condition. Subsequently, the simulation results of non-equilibrium charge density profile at the interface are also presented.
