Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is a method for preventing copper sulfide generation in oil-filled electrical equipment having an inhibitor of copper sulfide generation in insulating oil, and the method is characterized in monitoring characteristics of the insulating oil and performing re-addition of the inhibitor at an appropriate moment in accordance with a result of the monitoring.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for suppressing copper sulfide generation in oil-filled electrical equipment having an inhibitor of copper sulfide generation in insulating oil, the method comprising: monitoring an amount of copper in said insulating oil and performing re-addition of said inhibitor in response to detecting copper having a concentration of 0.1 ppm or greater in said insulating oil, or in response to detecting that said amount of copper in said insulating oil begins to increase from a flat state, or ends a tendency of reduction and turns into a tendency of remaining flat or increasing, in accordance with a result of said monitoring. 2. The method for suppressing copper sulfide generation according to claim 1 , wherein said insulating oil contains a causative substance causing copper sulfide generation or exhibits corrosiveness in an IEC62535 sulfidation corrosion test. 3. The method for suppressing copper sulfide generation according to claim 2 , wherein said causative substance is dibenzyldisulfide. 4. The method for suppressing copper sulfide generation according to claim 1 , wherein an amount of said inhibitor in said insulating oil is monitored during said monitoring, and said inhibitor is re-added prior to depletion of said inhibitor. 5. The method for suppressing copper sulfide generation according to claim 4 , wherein said inhibitor is added in response to detecting a concentration of said inhibitor in said insulating oil is a predetermined threshold value or less. 6. The method for suppressing copper sulfide generation according to claim 1 , wherein said insulating oil contains an oxidative degradation preventing agent.
