Abstract:

Transformer is one of the main assets in the electrical power industry which needs to be maintained for guaranteed uninterrupted power transmission in order to get assured revenue benefits. Transformer’s life mainly depends on the quality of its insulating oil i.e. transformer oil. Since transformer oil serves as a dielectric material and as an effective coolant in transformer, to perform these functions effectively the transformer oil must be purified regularly. In this paper, we will discuss about the contamination of transformer oil, why transformer oil needs to be purified and which equipment purifies the transformer oil.

Keywords:

Contaminants, Insulating oil, Purification, Transformer.
