Abstract

An exemplary oil transformer insulation module includes at least a first flat layer and a second layer adjacent and substantially and parallel to the first layer. The first and second layers include planar first insulation material and are connected to and spaced apart from a third corrugated layer that is arranged between the first and second layers. The third layer includes planar second insulation material, has lateral edges, and is corrugated such that all the cavities formed by the corrugated form can be flooded with a liquid via the lateral edges.

Claims (33)

1 . An oil transformer insulation module comprising:

at least a first flat layer and a second layer adjacent and substantially parallel to the first layer, wherein the first and second layers include planar first insulation material;

a third layer arranged between the first and second layers, wherein the third layer includes planar second insulation material, has lateral edges, and is corrugated such that all cavities formed by the corrugated form can be flooded with a liquid via the lateral edges, and

wherein the first and second layers of insulation material are connected to and spaced apart from the third layer.

2 . The oil transformer insulation module according to claim 1 , wherein the third layer is corrugated in a trapezium-like manner at least in regions.

3 . The oil transformer insulation module according to claim 1 , wherein at least one further flat layer and one further corrugated layer connected thereto are arranged between the first and second layers, thus resulting in an alternating sequence of flat and corrugated layers.

4 . The oil transformer insulation module according to claim 1 , wherein the first insulation material corresponds to the second insulation material.

5 . The oil transformer insulation module according to claim 1 , wherein a height of the cavities formed by the corrugated form corresponds to at least double a thickness of the second insulation material, which is not corrugated.

6 . The oil transformer insulation module according to claim 1 , wherein the cavities of the third layer run parallel to an alignment axis and in the insulation module the third layer is bent at least in regions about a bending axis parallel the third layer.

7 . The oil transformer insulation module according to claim 6 , wherein the first, second, and third layers are connected to one another in a bent state.

8 . The oil transformer insulation module according to claim 1 , wherein adjacent layers are connected to one another by means of a high-voltage-resistant adhesive.

9 . The oil transformer insulation module according to claim 1 , wherein all the cavities formed by the corrugated form are flooded with oil.

10 . The oil transformer insulation module according claim 1 , wherein at least one lateral edge of a corrugated layer is offset inwardly relative to the adjoining layers, such that a groove with groove cavity is formed.

11 . An arrangement of oil transformer insulation modules comprising:

an oil transformer insulation module including:

at least a first flat layer and a second layer adjacent and substantially parallel to the first layer, wherein the first and second layers include planar first insulation material;

a third layer arranged between the first and second layers, wherein the third layer includes planar second insulation material, has lateral edges, and is corrugated such that all cavities formed by the corrugated form can be flooded with a liquid via the lateral edges, and

wherein the first and second layers of insulation material are connected to and spaced apart from the third layer,

wherein at least two oil transformer insulation modules each having at least one groove are arranged alongside one another on a groove side, a common groove cavity is formed by grooves adjoining one another, and the at least two oil transformer insulation modules are connected to one another by a further oil transformer insulation module, which is adapted in its form to the common groove cavity and is arranged in the latter.

12 . The arrangement according to claim 11 , wherein a plurality of oil transformer insulation modules bent at least in sections are connected to form a ring-shaped structure.

13 . An oil transformer comprising:

an oil tank; and

at least one oil transformer insulation module comprising:

at least a first flat layer and a second layer adjacent and substantially parallel to the first layer, wherein the first and second layers include planar first insulation material;

a third layer arranged between the first and second layers, wherein the third layer includes planar second insulation material, has lateral edges, and is corrugated such that all cavities formed by the corrugated form can be flooded with a liquid via the lateral edges, and

wherein the first and second layers of insulation material are connected to and spaced apart from the third layer.

14 . The oil transformer according to claim 13 , wherein the third layer of the at least one oil transformer insulation module is corrugated in a trapezium-like manner at least in regions.

15 . The oil transformer insulation module according to claim 13 , wherein at least one further flat layer and one further corrugated layer connected thereto are arranged between the first and second layers, thus resulting in an alternating sequence of flat and corrugated layers.

16 . The oil transformer according to claim 13 , wherein the first insulation material corresponds to the second insulation material.

17 . The oil transformer according to claim 13 , wherein a height of the cavities formed by the corrugated form corresponds to at least double a thickness of the second insulation material, which is not corrugated.

18 . The oil transformer according to claim 13 , wherein the cavities of the third layer run parallel to an alignment axis, and in the insulation module the third layer bent at least in regions about a bending axis parallel to the third layer.

19 . The oil transformer according to claim 18 , wherein the first, second, and third layers are connected to one another in a bent state.

20 . The oil transformer according to claim 13 , wherein adjacent layers are connected to one another by means of a high-voltage-resistant adhesive.
