Gas content in wind turbine transformer oil is reduced using vacuum degassing. The oil is heated and exposed to a vacuum, which lowers the pressure, allowing trapped gases to evaporate and escape. This process removes harmful gases like oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen, which can lead to oxidation and affect the oil’s dielectric strength, improving the overall performance and lifespan of the transformer.
