Overview

ISO/DTR 23583 provides a comprehensive sulfur corrosion test method for copper windings subjected to electric fields in power equipment. Developed by ISO Technical Committee 156 (Corrosion of metals and alloys), this standard addresses the limitations of existing sulfur corrosiveness testing for transformer and power industry applications. By simulating the electric field and actual operating conditions, the test method improves the accuracy of copper winding corrosion assessments, enhancing the reliability and service life of power equipment.

This international standard is applicable to both newly installed and in-service power equipment, supporting manufacturers, utilities, and testing laboratories in evaluating the sulfur corrosion resistance of copper winding materials. The document includes detailed steps for sample preparation, equipment description, test procedures, and both qualitative and quantitative corrosion evaluation.

Key Topics

• Copper Winding Sulfur Corrosion: Addresses how sulfur and corrosive sulfides present in insulating oils can degrade copper winding, leading to equipment failure.
• Influencing Factors: Considers variables such as temperature, electric field (AC/DC), moisture, concentration of corrosive sulfur compounds, insulation oil quality, and contact status between copper winding and insulating paper.
• Test Methodology:
  • Pre-treatment of samples, including drying and immersion in insulation oils with known sulfur concentrations.
  • Use of pig-tail models to closely replicate real-life transformer winding arrangements.
  • Application of electric fields during the test to reflect operational conditions.
• Evaluation Methods:
  • Qualitative assessment based on corrosion morphology in line with ASTM D 1275B criteria.
  • Quantitative assessment using plasma coupled atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) to measure copper ion concentration in insulating oils.
• Testing Equipment: Description of specialized thermostatic oil tanks, vacuum drying tanks, electric heating experimental tanks, and power supply equipment.

Applications

• Transformer Manufacturing and Maintenance: Enables manufacturers and service providers to assess the sulfur corrosion resistance of copper windings, helping to reduce premature failures in transformers and similar power equipment.
• Quality Assurance and Control: Assists in systematic evaluation of materials and insulating oils used in power transformers, ensuring compliance with stringent reliability requirements.
• Failure Analysis and Lifetime Extension: Helps identify corrosion-related risks in installed equipment, supporting preventive maintenance and strategies to prolong equipment lifespan.
• Testing Laboratories: Provides standardized procedures for laboratories performing corrosion resistance certifications for copper windings in high-voltage equipment.
• Power Utilities: Supports grid operators and asset managers in selecting materials and maintenance schedules by providing reliable data on equipment vulnerability to sulfur-induced corrosion.

Related Standards

• ASTM D 1275A / ASTM D 1275B - Standards for testing corrosive sulfur in electrical insulating oils.
• IEC 62535 - Test methods for detecting potentially corrosive sulfur in insulating oils.
• GB/T 25961 - Standard test method for corrosive sulfur in electrical insulating oils.
• GB/T 38265.15 - Methods for copper corrosion testing in various applications.
• ASTM D 130 - Standard for testing corrosiveness to copper from petroleum products.
• ISO 6251 - Procedures for assessing the corrosiveness of liquefied petroleum gases to copper.
• IEC 60296 - Specifications for mineral insulating oils for electrical equipment.
• GB/T 6451 - Technical requirements for oil-immersed power transformers.

By referencing ISO/DTR 23583, stakeholders in the power sector can ensure improved assessment and mitigation of sulfur corrosion risks, supporting the reliability and safety of power equipment globally. This standard fills a critical gap by introducing electric field simulation and comprehensive testing parameters, aligning with real operational conditions in the power industry.

Introduction
Many factors affect the sulfur corrosion of copper windings in power equipment in the power industry.
These include:
— temperature;
— corrosive sulfide concentration in oil;
— acid products derived from oil-paper insulation aging;
— moisture;
— the type of electric field (AC or DC electric field);
— electric field strength;
— the contact state between the copper winding and the insulating paper;
— the quality of the copper winding.
These have a significant influence on the occurrence of sulfur corrosion and the generation of corrosion
products. The current assessment methods of sulfur corrosion of copper windings do not sufficiently
consider these factors. Existing standards (e.g. ASTM D 1275A, ASTM D 1275B, IEC 62535, GB/T 25961) test
specifications or methods for testing whether the quality of insulating oil meets the requirements.
As for the corrosion of copper, the existing standards are test methods for the co

Many factors affect the sulfur corrosion of copper windings in power equipment in the power industry. These
include:
— — temperature;
Formatted: List Continue 1
— — corrosive sulfide concentration in oil;
— — acid products derived from oil-paper insulation aging;
— — moisture;
— — the type of electric field (AC or DC electric field);
— — electric field strength;
— — the contact state between the copper winding and the insulating paper;
— — the quality of the copper winding.
These have a significant influence on the occurrence of sulfur corrosion and the generation of corrosion
products. Unfortunately, theThe current assessment methods of sulfur corrosion of copper windings do not
sufficiently consider these factors. Existing standards (e.g. ASTM D 1275A/B, ASTM D 1275B, IEC 62535, GB/T
Formatted: English (United Kingdom)
25961) test specifications or methods for testing whether the quality of insulating oil meets the requirements.
As for the corrosion of copper, the existing standards are test methods for the corrosion of copper metal in the
atmospheric environment, petroleum products, etc. Standards such as GB/T 38265.15, ASTM D 130 and ISO
6251specify6251 specify special testing or assessment methods for lubricants, oil and copper parts in
atmospheric environments (e.g. pipelines, tower parts and other structures), which does not fully apply to
power equipment.
Therefore, with reference to the existing standards for corrosive sulfur detection in insulating oil, this
document proposes a sulfur corrosion test method for copper winding in electric field for power equipment.
The method includes pre-treatment, model construction, the corrosion test method and corrosion level
judgments for copper windings.
This document contributes to controlling the quality of copper windings in electric power equipment,
reducing the failure of electric power equipment due to sulfur corrosion and prolonging the service life of
power equipment, which has great significance in improving the safe operation of power grids.
