Abstract - Nearly all load bearing
transformers in electric power systems around the
world are filled with insulating oil i.e. transformer
oil. Insulating oil plays a major role in the
transformer, acting as insulating medium and as
coolant. Transformers in electric power distribution
and transmission systems are expected to function
reliably and efficiently for uninterrupted power
supply and to do this the quality of the transformer
oil must be high. To maintain high quality of the
transformer oil, purification of transformer oil by
high vacuum transformer oil filtration machine
should be conducted regularly. In this paper, we will
study about the transformer oil filtration machine
and how it purifies the contaminated transformer
oil.
Key Words: Degasification, Insulating oil,
Moisture, Purification, Transformer.
1. INTRODUCTION
Transformer is one of the most important and
costly components of power system. Extreme
reliability is demanded of electric power system,
and even though the failure risk of a transformer is
small, when failures occur, they lead to high repair
costs, long downtime and possible safety risks.
Moreover, transformers are too expensive to replace
regularly and must be properly maintained to
maximize their life expectancy. So for getting high
performance and long functional life of the
transformer, it is desired to perform various
maintenance activities. Purification of transformer
oil is one of these maintenance activities, since
transformer’s life mainly depends on its insulating
oil i.e. transformer oil. To purify transformer oil,
high vacuum transformer oil filtration machine is
used. It consists of inlet pump, filters, heaters, ionic
reaction column, degassing and dehydration
chamber, discharge pump, vacuum pumps etc. In
this paper, we will study about the transformer oil
filtration machine and how it works to purify the
contaminated transformer oil.
2. Insulating Oil
Primarily, two kinds of basic insulation
materials are widely used in the transformer,
including the liquid insulation material such as
insulating oil i.e. transformer oil and solid insulation
material such as insulation paper. The widespread
use of dielectric liquids for insulation and cooling is
due to their greater electrical breakdown strength
and thermal conductivity than gaseous insulators,
while their ability to conform to complex
geometries and self-heal means that they are often
of more practical use than solid insulators.
Transformer oil is highly refined mineral oil that is
stable at high temperatures and has excellent
electrical insulating properties. It is normally
obtained by fractional distillation and subsequent
treatment of crude petroleum. Hence why this oil is
also known as mineral insulating oil. Transformer
oil provides part of the electrical insulation between
internal live parts in the transformer. It also helps
cool the transformer i.e.it acts as a coolant.
Causes of contamination of transformer oil are
electrical disturbances and thermal decomposition.
Various contaminants like moisture, sludge,
dissolved gases etc. Present in the transformer oil
reduces the breakdown strength of transformer oil,
promotes local heating, increases the electrical
conductivity and decreases the electrical and
mechanical strength of the insulation system. The
contaminants also decelerates the transformer
efficiency. The failure of liquid insulation can cause
catastrophic damage not only to the power
equipment, but also to the surrounding
environment. Furthermore, failure often leads to
major
operational disruption and financial loss. Purification of the transformer oil by high vacuum
