description Transformer oil will inevitably be contaminated by impurity particles in the actual operation process; Carbon particles are the most abundant conductive particles in transformer oil. The adhesion behavior on the internal insulating surface will cause electric field distortion, which will pose a serious threat to the safe and stable operation of oil-immersed power equipment. To this end, this paper builds an experimental platform for simulating the adhesion behavior of carbon particles in transformer oil, studies the adhesion characteristics of carbon particles, and analyzes the influence of electric field, particle size, oil flow velocity, and other factors on the adhesion of carbon particles. The results show that: the DC electric field is the main factor driving the adhesion of carbon particles on the surface of epoxy resin (with the increase in electric field strength, the degree of adhesion of carbon particles firstly rises and then decreases); the smaller the size of the carbon particles, the easier it is to adhere, and the corresponding electric field strength is different for different sizes of carbon particles when the degree of adhesion is the largest; the velocity of the transformer oil will have a significant impact on the adhesion behavior of the carbon particles (with the increase in the flow velocity, the degree of adhesion of carbon particles firstly rises and then decreases). The research conclusion of this article is helpful in guiding the evaluation of insulation performance and the optimization of insulation structure design in the converter transformer valve-side bushing considering the phenomenon of particle adhesion.
