On-site regeneration of transformer oil

Regeneration of transformer oil at the transformer’s location is an important preventive measure of transformer servicing. Transformer life time is, in essence, the life time of its insulation system. The most widely used insulation is liquid insulation (transformer oils) and solid insulation (paper, i.e. cellulose insulation). The oil provides for at ...
