Dielectric Breakdown Method Differences
Transformer insulating fluid acts as an insulator for electric and thermal capacities for many electrical equipment. Measurement of dielectric breakdown is a major way to measure the capability of a fluid to withstand electrical stress. In measuring dielectric breakdown, an increasingly high voltage is applied across the fluid via electrodes. The breakdown occurs when the […]
Maintaining Transformer Oil Through Hot Oil Reclamation
Maintaining transformers is not a new idea, but funding for transformer maintenance services continues to decline. The accounting structure incentivizes the purchase of new transformers. Globally, demand for new transformers has lead times extending up to three years. Unless there are enough spare transformers in inventory, it only makes sense to have a robust maintenance […]
