Transformer Moisture Removal plays a pivotal role in maintaining the optimal performance of electrical transformers. Moisture present in transformer oil diminishes its insulating capabilities, which can lead to electrical failures such as short circuits and partial discharges. These failures not only disrupt the normal operation of the transformer but also pose safety hazards. Furthermore, moisture accelerates the chemical degradation of the oil, resulting in the formation of sludge and acids that corrode internal components like windings and core laminations. By removing moisture, the insulating properties of the oil are preserved, ensuring efficient electrical insulation and effective cooling. This leads to enhanced reliability, reduced energy losses, and prolonged service life of the transformer, ultimately contributing to consistent and safe power distribution.
