The full
scale fire experiment of 35 kV outdoor transformer was carried out to explore
the burning characteristics of substation fire.Four fires at the same time were
considered by setting fires at different position of transformer. The flame
spread and temperature change were analyzed to provide theoretical support for
substation fire construction and emergency rescue. The research showed that the
transformer fire has hidden, three-dimensional and
multi-scale combustion characteristics. In the
process of combustion of fire sources with different scales, there are multiple
flame touching and merging behaviors. In the stage of full combustion, the
upper flame of the transformer is unstable, such as flame shock and separation.
it is mainly attached wall flame under the transformer and continuous and
intermittent flame formed by diffusion combustion above the transformer.The temperature
gradually decreases in the vertical direction, while the temperature in the
middle is high and the temperature on both sides is low in the horizontal
direction.
