In a thermal power plant, the transformer area is the core part of power conversion and distribution, and its importance is self-evident. However, due to the dense equipment and complex operating environment, the transformer area often faces a variety of potential safety hazards, among which water leakage is particularly prominent. In order to effectively monitor and solve this problem, the JSK-DG water leak sensor came into being and plays an indispensable role in the transformer area.

I. Application background

The transformer area of ​​a thermal power plant usually includes various transformer equipment such as the main transformer, plant transformer, and standby transformer. These transformers are responsible for stepping up or down the electric energy generated by the generator to meet the power transmission and distribution needs of different voltage levels. The transformer area is not only densely equipped, but also has a complex operating environment, often accompanied by extreme conditions such as high temperature, high pressure, and strong magnetic field.

In the transformer area, water leakage problems often occur due to equipment aging, improper maintenance, natural disasters and other reasons. Water leakage will not only cause the equipment to become damp and the insulation performance to deteriorate, but may also cause serious consequences such as electrical short circuits and fires, posing a serious threat to the safe operation of the power plant. Therefore, how to effectively monitor the water leakage in the transformer area and take timely measures to repair and prevent it has become an important issue in the operation and maintenance management of power plants.

II. Introduction to JSK-DG water leak sensor

JSK-DG water leak sensor is an intelligent sensor designed for monitoring liquid leakage. It uses advanced detection technology to accurately and quickly detect water leakage within the measured range and send out an alarm signal so that the operation and maintenance personnel can take timely measures to deal with it. JSK-DG water leak sensor has the advantages of small size, easy operation, advanced technology and strong adaptability. It is widely used in various places that require waterproofing, such as data centers, communication rooms, power stations, etc.

The working principle of JSK-DG water leak sensor is based on the principle of liquid conductivity. When water contacts the sensor probe, the circuit inside the probe will change, thereby triggering the sensor to send out an alarm signal. The sensor also has two output states: normally open and normally closed, which can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, JSK-DG water leak sensor also supports a variety of signal output methods, such as relay output, RS485 interface, etc., which is convenient for integration with various monitoring systems to achieve remote alarm and remote equipment control.

III. Application of JSK-DG water leak sensor in transformer area

In the transformer area of ​​a thermal power plant, the JSK-DG water leak sensor can be installed in several key locations to monitor potential water leakage in real time. The following is a detailed introduction to its application in the transformer area:

1. Under the transformer oil pillow

The transformer oil pillow is an important part of the transformer, which is used to monitor and regulate the temperature and pressure of the transformer oil. There are usually oil drainage pipes and oil collection pits under the oil pillow. Once the transformer leaks oil or the oil pillow ruptures, a large amount of oil will quickly accumulate in the oil collection pit under the oil pillow. In order to detect and deal with this situation in time, a JSK-DG water leak sensor can be installed in the oil collection pit. When the oil in the oil collection pit reaches a certain height, the sensor will send an alarm signal to remind the operation and maintenance personnel to check and deal with it.

2. Around the transformer foundation

The transformer is usually installed on a solid foundation to ensure its stable operation. However, due to improper foundation construction, foundation settlement and other reasons, cracks or water seepage may occur around the transformer foundation. These cracks or water seepage will not only cause the transformer to become damp and the insulation performance to deteriorate, but may also cause electrical short circuits and other faults. In order to monitor the water leakage around the transformer foundation, JSK-DG water leak sensors can be installed at key locations around the foundation. When the sensor detects water leakage, an alarm signal will be issued immediately so that the operation and maintenance personnel can take timely measures to repair and prevent it.

3. Transformer room floor

The transformer room is one of the main operating environments of the transformer. Since the transformer room is usually equipped with a drainage system, once the drainage system fails or is blocked, water will accumulate in the room. Water accumulation will not only affect the normal operation of the transformer, but may also cause serious consequences such as fire. In order to monitor the water accumulation on the ground of the transformer room, JSK-DG water leak sensors can be installed at key locations on the ground. When the sensor detects water accumulation, an alarm signal will be issued immediately to remind the operation and maintenance personnel to check and deal with it.

4. Transformer cooling system

The transformer will generate a lot of heat during operation, which needs to be dissipated through the cooling system. The cooling system usually includes equipment such as radiators and cooling fans. Since the cooling system is in long-term operation and is under high load, it is prone to failures such as water leakage. In order to monitor the water leakage of the cooling system, JSK-DG water leak sensors can be installed at key locations of the cooling system. When the sensor detects a water leak, an alarm signal will be issued immediately so that the operation and maintenance personnel can take timely measures to repair and prevent it.

By applying the JSK-DG water leak sensor, thermal power plants can achieve real-time monitoring and early warning of water leaks in the transformer area. This not only helps to timely discover and deal with potential safety hazards and reduce the risk of equipment failures and safety accidents; it can also improve the efficiency and accuracy of operation and maintenance management, and provide strong guarantees for the stable operation of power plants.
