FUNCTIONS OF TRANSFORMER OIL • To provide dielectric strength of the transformer insulation system. • To provide efficient cooling. • To protect the transformer core and coil assembly from chemical attack. • To prevent the build up of sludge in the transformer.
PRODUCTION OF TRANSFORMER OIL • Transformer oil is hydrocarbon product,mainly oil contains napthanic,parrafinic and aromatics. • To obtain the TOBS the crude oil which is burried from earth crust subjected in to the following sequence of operations . • Distillation-Acid treatment-Neutralization-Water wash-Hot air blowing. • Clay treatment process on TOBS will give us the finished transformer oil. • After the hot filtration operation transformer oil is ready for filling the transformers.
DETORIORATION ASPECTS OF TRANSFORMER OIL • Deterioration due to the accidental leakage of water . • Deterioration due to the chemical decomposition. • Deterioration due to the oxidation. • Deterioration due to the contamination by gases. • Deterioration due to the electrical stresses. • Deterioration due to the thermal stresses. • Deterioration due to the effect of oxidation products. • Deterioration due to the physical contamination.
PRECAUTIONS INVOLVED IN TRANSFORMER OIL SAMPLING. • The utmost care should be taken to avoid contamination of samples with external impurities such as dust and moisture. • Attention is drawn to the danger of sampling in rainy or foggy weather. • The hands of the sampler should not come into contact with the samples. • Care should be taken when sampling oil colder than the surrounding air, to avoid contamination by condensation.
PRECAUTIONS INVOLVED IN TRANSFORMER OIL SAMPLING. • Only glass sample containers,preferably fitted with ground glass stopper,should be used. • Cotton waste or other fibrous materials should not be used to wipe the containers or apparatus. • Where practicable,if a bottom sample is required the contents of the tank or package,after movement,should be allowed for at least 8Hrs,preferably 24Hrs before sampling. • Before the actual sample is taken,the entire sampling apparatus and containers should be rinsed with the oil,which should then discarded
PRECAUTIONS INVOLVED IN TRANSFORMER OIL SAMPLING. • To remove any moisture or dirt on the surfaces over which the oil sample will flow a small amount of oil should be allowed to flow from the tank or package and run to waste before the sample is taken. • Samples that are to be tested for sludge,corrosive sulphur or tan delta should be protected from light.
