Abstract
Existing particle size analysis methods are difficult to detect micron and submicron sized particles in transformer oil which generated during the early stages of transformer oil aging. As a supplement to the existing analysis methods, we introduce dynamic light scattering (DLS) to extended the lower limit of particle size detection to the nanoscale. In this work, we designed a novel multi-angle DLS system which utilizes optical fibers and microfluidic chips to achieve accurate measurement in high viscosity media. We use the self-developed system to analyze the particle size distribution in multiple aging transformer oil samples, the experimental results show that the relative errors of measurement for simulated aging samples are within 7%, and the measurement results for real aging samples are consistent with the microscopic observations.
