Bulletin 26E Oil or winding temperature transmitters AKM 46812 AKM 48003 AKM 46890 GENERAL AKM oil or winding temperature transmitters (44666,46812 and 46890) consist of a resistance thermometer with a built-in electric heating element. The winding temperature transmitter simulates the temperature of the hottest part of the transformer winding. It is difficult to measure the temperature of the winding directly, therefore an instrument has been developed which indirectly reproduces a “thermal image" of the temperature. The winding temperature transmitters may well be used as oil temperature transmitters by not connecting the heating element. CONSTRUCTION AND PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION The winding temperature transmitter is placed in an oil filled pocket in the transformer tank cover. Inside the transmitter a heating element is fitted, which is fed by a current proportional to the transformer loading. The temperature gradient given by the heating element is proportional to the temperature increase of the winding over the top oil temperature. This way, the transmitter simulates the temperature in the hottest part of the winding, i.e. the "hot spot temperature" Technical data sheet TD-64 shows the temperature increase above the top oil temperature (measured in an oil filled pocket) as function of the heating current. The thermal time constant for the winding temperature transmitter is of the same magnitude as that of the winding. Thereby it gives a true “thermal image" of the winding temperature. ADJUSTING ‘AKM matching unit (44677 for 5A resp. 44678 for 2A) is used to adjust the heating current. ‘An approximation of the required heating current may be obtained from TD-64 as basis for the final adjustment, to give the correct temperature increase above the top oil temperature as calculated from the heat run test.
