Abstract

Static electrification of transformers was identified in the late 1970s as a potential cause of failure of large forced cooled transformers. R&D spanning more than 20 years has led to an understanding of the conditions under which transformers may have the highest risk of failure. Tests conducted by EPRI and ConEdison at ConEd´s Ramapo substation over a three-year period has demonstrated that static electrification is detectable and conditions under which static electrification arises are repeatable. This paper presents static electrification data from a plate sensor and an absolute charge sensor
