Furans produced from temperature buildups are generated in two ways: the first being a localized area of high heat and paper damage, and the second being the general overall heating of the entire insulation system. Thermal, oxidative and hydrolytic breakdown of paper insulation can be detected through furan analysis. This test, in conjunction with dissolved fault gas analysis, gives you the best overview of the state of your transformer. A furan test should be included with yearly maintenance and trends developed to monitor the condition of the paper. Diagnostics: Presently, there are no limit values or normal values for these compounds. Annual tests should be performed to determine baselines and trending patterns.) o Degree of Polymerization (To assess the aging of insulating paper from service-aged power transformers and voltage regulators, samples can be analyzed to determine the degree of polymerization. This, however, is an invasive test requiring a sample of the paper which may present some difficulties such as taking the unit out of service. Each cellulose fiber of paper is composed by a bundle of cellulose molecules of different lengths, laying side by side. These molecules are held together due to hydrogen bonds between the hydroxyl groups (-OH) existing in their structure. The cellulose molecule is a linear polymer formed by a chain of glucose rings linked by glycosidic bonds. As paper ages, the glycosidic bonds break, and the molecule is shortened. Consequently, paper loses its mechanical stength, and the useful life of the trasnformer is reduced. Diagnostics: New Kraft paper typically has a DP range of 1100 to 1500. Paper at the end of its useful life has a DP for around 150. Partial rewinding occurs around a DP of 250.) o Power Factor (This test will detect the dryness of transformer insulation. It is the ratio of the power dissipated divided by the input volt-ampere multiplied by 100. The test is made with a capacitance bridge, and the connections are the same as for the Megger test.)
