How Transformer Evacuation Vacuum Pumps Contribute to Efficient Transformer Oil Degassing and Moisture Removal
Regular transformer maintenance is key to ensuring long-term, reliable service. Among the most important aspects of maintenance is ensuring the transformer’s oil is free from moisture, gases, and other contaminants. The Transformer Evacuation Vacuum Pump is an essential piece of equipment in this process, specifically designed to remove moisture and gases from transformer oil. The Importance of Oil in Transformer Maintenance Transformer oil acts as an insulator and cooling medium for the electrical components inside the transformer. However, over time, the oil can absorb moisture and gases, reducing its dielectric strength and potentially causing transformer failure. Moisture and gases inside the oil can lead to problems such as: Reduced Insulating Properties: Excess moisture or gas in the oil compromises its ability to insulate transformer windings, which can lead to short circuits or failures. Increased Risk of Corona Discharge: When moisture and gases accumulate in the oil, th...
