Abstract: Focused on a single-phase earth fault of 35 kV dry-type reactor, comprehensive analysis is performed including impulse oscillating turn-to-turn insulation test, disassembly in manufacturer and COSMOL thermal field simulation. The cause of the accident is turn-to-turn insulation failure in the 5th package. Due to internal conductor burning, the preventive test of DC resistance measurement has limitation on insulation failure detection. Thermal field simulation of reactor is also performed, and results show that the hot spot of reactor during operation is in the 6th floor coating, which has 73.8 K temperature rise. Temperature rise on 5th, 7th, 14th, 15th package is also high compared to other packages which deteriorates device insulation. The analysis and simulation results provide valuable reference for device design, production, operation and testing.
