From June 19 to June 23, 2022, the prestigious IEEE Electrical Insulation Conference was held in Knoxville (Tennessee, USA).
This event is held annually and gathers leading scientists and practitioners of the electric power industry. GlobeCore company representatives participate in the conference for the second year in a row.
In particular, the results of the work performed by team of authors were represented by Jose Mora, the Service Engineer of GlobeCore who delivered a speech on “Comparative Analysis of Transformer Solid Insulation Drying Methods”.
Jose analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of common methods for drying the insulation of oil-filled transformers, as well as classified these methods by possibility of use depending on the dimensions of transformers and the conditions of performing repair and service work (field conditions or repair shops).
The resulting classification allows electric power companies to quickly choose the optimal methods for solid insulation processing to develop a fleet of equipment intended for maintenance of oil-filled transformers.
