    The document discusses including Arrhenius life plots in the Loading Guide to show transformer life at different hot spot temperatures. It describes problems with older life plots and defines the new endpoint as a degree of polymerization of 200. An equation is given to calculate life based on this endpoint. The document proposes including Arrhenius life plots for transformers with both upgraded and non-upgraded insulation.

    Including Arrhenius Life Plots in the Loading Guide

    The current Loading Guide does not have life plots; only per unit life
    Plot based on life at 110oC hot spot temperature::

    It would be very helpful to have life plots as in the earlier Loading Guides

    Problems in Using the Old Life Plots

    End point had been defined as retention of 50% tensile strength for power
    transformers, and short circuit failure during life tests for distribution
    Transformers (this life was about five times of life of power transformers)

    C57.91 1995 Revision:


    End point was specified on the basis of DP (degree of
    polymerization). DP of 200 was considered end of life. Based on
    This the following equation has been stated:
    Life(Hours)
    = exp[(15,000/T) - 27.064]
    or
    Log10Life(Hours) = (6514.42/T) - 11.754
    This equation would give a life of 180,000 hours at 110oC
    hot spot temperature (same as for 65oC insulation in
    distribution transformers above, but at other temperatures
    .there is some divergence). The equation as such is not
    shown in the Loading Guide, but may be deduced.

    Life plot for power and distribution transformers with


    Upgraded insulation

    Arrhenius Life Plot based on the new equation

    What about Transformers with Non-upgraded insulation?


    It is possible to develop an Arrhenius life equation and plot
    assuming that the same divergence would exist on a DP basis as
    for the life equations and plots for distribution transformers
    In the older Guides based on life tests. The life predicted
    for distribution transformers based on the old and the new
    equations give close enough values for 65oC rise transformers.
    eg., at 110oC hot spot temp., the life predicted is 180,000 hours.
    The two equations are not identical, though.
