Reduce Transformer Failure Risk with Pre-Installation Bushing Testing
Never assume a new bushing is an acceptable bushing… Pre-installation testing can identify: • Elevated power factor / dielectric losses • Capacitance abnormalities or mismatches between phases • Shipping or handling damage • Manufacturing defects before they become field failures A few minutes of testing prior to installing and vacuum filling can save a lot […]
What’s Happening Inside Your Transformer?
Mineral oil is the lifeblood of a transformer and is by far the dominant fluid used in transformers. There are many reasons why mineral oil is used as an insulating fluid in transformers. One, it is an excellent dielectric medium for insulating the components within the transformer, and two; it is a good heat transferring […]
