Abstract
In this study, we presented the problems in the insulation cover of 22.9kV transformer bushing through investigating actual conditions. After thermal stress applied to the insulation cover, deterioration patterns, thermogravimetric and infrared characteristics were analyzed, and the results were applied to the cause analysis of accidents and judgement of safety. The insulation covers are used to protect exposed terminals of transformer, but they had improper size and length. Therefore, they could not show efficient insulation function. In case that thermal stress of $150^{\circ}C$ was applied to the insulation covers, plastic insulation covers(A, B, D, E) damaged severely, whereas rubber insulation cover(C) showed normal shapes. In the result of thermogravimetric analysis, the thermal gravity of plastic covers(A) decreased about 33.3% at $307.8^{\circ}C\;to\;405.9^{\circ}C$. and he thermal gravity of rubber covers (C) decreased about 53.7% at $258.8^{\circ}C\;to\;32.9^{\circ}C$. In the result of FT-IR analysis, plastic covers showed peaks characteristic of $CH_2,\;CH_3$, C=O and C=C bonds, whereas rubber covers showed peaks characteristic of OH, $CH_2,\;CH_3$, C=O, C=N and C=C bonds.
