    Transformer oil purification is the process of removing impurities, moisture, and gases to restore the oil’s insulating and cooling properties. The process involves heating, vacuum dehydration, and filtration of the oil. After purification, the oil is tested to ensure it meets standards, which helps maintain the transformer’s reliability and extend its lifespan.

    The presence of hydrogen in transformer oil indicates potential internal issues, such as electrical discharges, arcing, or overheating. Hydrogen is one of the first gases to be produced when there is a fault in the transformer. Its detection through Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) can signal the need for further investigation to prevent possible transformer failure.

    An oil furnace ignition transformer generates the high voltage necessary to create a spark that ignites the oil in an oil furnace. This spark initiates the combustion process, allowing the furnace to produce heat efficiently for heating systems.
