GlobeCore FAQ
I have a transformer in operation with a moisture content of 40 ppm at 65 °C. The tan delta value is also greater than 1. The degree of polymerization is 520. What is your opinion on this? Would an online dryer from GlobeCore be a solution in this case?

40 ppm at 65 °C is not critical for moisture, because at this temperature the oil saturation level is high and relative saturation is likely low. The more serious concern is tan delta > 1, which usually indicates oxidized or contaminated oil, high acidity, or conductive aging products. DP = 520 means the paper is aged but still serviceable, so slowing further aging is important. An online dryer can help stabilize moisture and protect the paper, but it will not correct a high tan delta. First, check TAN, IFT, resistivity, and DGA. If oil quality is poor, oil reclamation or replacement is needed before relying on online drying.
