GlobeCore offers several models of transformer oil regeneration units. This article looks into the differences between regeneration in MCU and CMM-R types. Application The MCU units are designed for partial regeneration of transformer oil, which includes removal of water, water-soluble acids and particulate matter. The CMM-R, on the other hand, performs complete regeneration, including removalRead More
The term “transformer oil filling”, as it is used in this article, has two meanings. The first is the process that compensates for the loss of oil in the course of transformer operation. The second is filling a transformer with oil before commissioning or after an overhaul. Oil is an essential part of the transformer.Read More
Insulation oil is a general term for industrial oils used in high voltage systems. This groups includes transformer, capacitor and cable oils. This article looks into the features of such oils and insulating oil clarification systems. Transformer oil is widely used in modern transformers as an insulation and heat dissipation medium. It also protects celluloseRead More

Even now, over 1400 participants from 100 countries are expected at the event. Nine exhibition halls are ready to hostRead More
The gearbox is an important part of a wind turbine. It provides system motion that is essential for wind power generation. Therefore, the condition of a gearbox shouldn’t be neglected, lest the operator faces grave consequences. No less important for proper maintenance is to know more about wind turbine gearbox types and designs. Wind TurbineRead More
In May 2018, GlobeCore began production of the new CMM-1CF units, designed to purify petrochemical products (turbine, transformer and industrial oils, gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene etc. The main features of this unit is its ability to process materials highly contaminated with water. The unit successfully processes oil with water content as high as 50% andRead More
Wind turbine oil system provides lubrication for the inner parts of the turbine, which is very important for the safety and efficiency of the unit. It is clearly understandable that condition of the oil in the system is crucial as well. To keep wind power plant systems safe and clean, manufacturers must maintain them properlyRead More
Wind turbine is a large and complex machine that produces electricity. Of course, its efficiency depends on the conditions of its components. One of the most important parts is the wind turbine gearbox. If any of the windmill inner parts wears out quickly, it causes financial losses and even danger of total turbine failure. That’sRead More
Transformer oil recovery is a powerful tool in combating waste pollution. A staggering amount of waste oil is generated in the world each year. Unfortunately, a lot of countries have yet to formulate sound policies in handling this type of waste, therefore much oil is spilled into the ground or water bodies, causing irreparable harmRead More
In this article, we will look at transformer oil degassing, how to find out when it is time to degass the oil, what the methods of transformer oxidation protection are and will look at equipment used to remove gases from electrical insulating fluids. How gases enter transformer oil Even under normal circumstances, transformer oil canRead More
GlobeCore and GC Technologies participated in the AWEA Wind Power Conference and Exhibition in Chicago on 7 – 10 May. This is the largest event held under the aegis of the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA), which brings together the wind energy market professionals: manufacturers, suppliers, customers and anyone interested in ground-breaking innovations in thisRead More
A Transformer Oil Refining Machine is a device that can make aged oil as good as new. Why is oil refining useful and important? During operation of a transformer, oil undergoes profound changes, usually referred to as “aging”. With this aging, there are changes in the chemical and electrophysical parameters of the oil. Its electricalRead More
A wind farm is a group of windmills, located in one area, to produce a large amount of electricity. Since wind farms may consist of dozens or even hundreds of mills, their maintenance is a complicated and expensive business. That is why wind farm service requires optimal, reliable techniques, which will make all the operationsRead More
On 10 May, GlobeCore held a transformer oil regeneration seminar in San Jose, Costa Rica, in cooperation with ELMEC S.A. and with the participation of Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen (MR). The event was attended by more than 70 people, who represented 25 companies from Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Guatemala, Columbia, Honduras and Salvador. Traditionally, the seminarRead More
Transformer oil degradation is a process caused by a number of factors. It can be the result of thermal, mechanical stresses and a few other things. Aging of transformer oil leads to many possible failures. That is why proper transformer maintenance is important. Transformer oil maintenance Maintenance of transformer oil should include several important phases,Read More
17 – 19 April, GlobeCore participated in the IEEE PES Transmission and Distribution Conference and Exposition, in Denver, CO, in cooperation with GC Technologies (USA). This is a significant event in the electrical power industry, gathering the leading equipment manufacturers, managers, scientists, engineers and policy makers. The meeting helps to exchange experience and generate newRead More
GlobeCore with GC Technologies is planning a seminar for old and new customers. Date: June 14, 2018.
