Silicone oil filtration systems enhance transformer reliability by removing contaminants that can compromise the oil’s insulating and cooling functions. By eliminating particulates, moisture, and dissolved gases, filtration maintains the oil’s dielectric strength and thermal conductivity. This reduces the risk of electrical failures and overheating, leading to more stable transformer operation. Regular filtration extends the life of the oil and the transformer, lowers maintenance costs, and minimizes unplanned downtime, thereby improving overall performance.
