Essential maintenance practices include:
Regular Oil Testing: Monitoring parameters like dielectric strength, moisture content, and acidity.
Purification Processes: Implementing filtration and degassing to remove contaminants.
Leak Inspection: Ensuring seals and gaskets are intact to prevent moisture and air ingress.
Temperature Control: Keeping the transformer operating within recommended temperature ranges.
Scheduled Inspections: Checking for signs of wear, corrosion, or other issues within the transformer.
These practices help maintain the oil’s properties and extend the transformer’s operational life.
