What happens to aging transformer oils?

   Transformer oils act as both a dielectric insulating material and a coolant; however, introduced contamination reduces the effectiveness of these characteristics. Particulate contamination can be leftover from transformer production, enter during the filling stage, or introduced through chemical interactions with windings and solid insulation. Water is another form of contamination that plagues transformers, which is most commonly introduced into a transformer via condensation and breathing.

  Water and particulate contamination are detrimental to the functioning of transformer oil. Water allows a higher rate of oxidation, which creates sludge forming acidic and polar compounds. More importantly, water and particulate contamination lower the dielectric strength and breakdown voltage of the transformer oil, which, if lowered below the minimum 30 kV rating, threatens electrical discharge that can destroy your transformer.

Are you experiencing any of the following indicators of aging transformer oils?

    System Failure

    Service Outages

    High replacement costs

    High disposal costs

    Moisture in oil

    Contaminants in oil
