Application of Dry-coupling Ultrasonic Technology in Oil-level Detection of Oil-filled Equipment in Power Grid

Dry-coupling ultrasonic technology is applied to detecting oil-level of oil-filled equipment in power grid. Vinyl silicone rubber is used to substitute liquid coupling agent to fabricate dry-coupling ultrasonic probe, which makes the ultrasonic directly enter the oil-filled equipment through the special structure of dry-coupling probe and detect oil-level of oil-filled equipment accurately and rapidly. Omitting the step that smearing liquid coupling agent on the probe can avoid the contamination on the surface of equipment and significantly improve the detection efficiency. (paper)
