Abstract

Provided is a method for determining insulation thermomechanical deterioration of a VPI wire rod of a pumped storage power generator motor. The method includes: periodically performing a cold-heat cycling test on a wire rod, and performing an insulation dielectric dissipation factor testing and a result interpretation of the insulation dielectric dissipation factor testing before and after each period to obtain corresponding data; in response to determining the interpretation result as the data being qualified, continuing to perform the cold-heat cycling test; and in response to determining the interpretation result as the data being unqualified, striking the wire rod with a copper hammer, and using an acoustic acquisition and analysis system to perform signal processing to determine spectral characteristics in a thermomechanical deterioration state as a deterioration criterion.
