Oil analysis November 1st 2010 Unexpected HV or MV transformer
failure can be extremely costly, both
in terms of replacement and
production loss. OilData oil analysis
from EA Technology Analytical can
create a 'health index''of
transformers, allowing more efficient
and cost-effective planning of
maintenance, refurbishment and
replacement.
Oil analysis provides detailed
information on the internal
condition of a transformer. Tests,
including oil quality, dissolved gas
analysis and furfuraldehyde levels,
offer insights into paper degradation,
abnormal electrical or thermal
activity and other effects of
transformer ageing. More articles from E A Technology Group: |
