    The cable oil purification process typically involves the following steps:

    Heating: Oil is heated to reduce viscosity, enhancing the efficiency of subsequent processes.
    Pre-Filtration: Removal of large particles using coarse filters.
    Vacuum Dehydration: Eliminates moisture and dissolved gases under vacuum conditions.
    Fine Filtration: Removes smaller particulates with fine filters, often down to micron levels.
    Degassing: Further extraction of gases that may affect dielectric properties.
    Adsorption Treatment: Uses materials like activated alumina to remove acids and polar contaminants.
    Cooling: Oil is cooled to appropriate temperatures before returning to the cable system.
    Monitoring and Testing: Continuous monitoring of parameters like moisture content and dielectric strength to ensure purification effectiveness.
    These steps collectively restore the oil’s insulating and cooling properties, ensuring optimal performance of power cables.
