Overheating of external connections in oil-filled transformers

[aminaas1576]

If the transformer is consistently overloaded, consider reducing the load or upgrading the transformer to a higher capacity model to meet current and future needs.

Implement a regular maintenance schedule that includes testing and inspection of transformer insulation materials for signs of aging or damage.

Replace any damaged parts with new components jamaica number data identical or compatible with the original specifications and models to ensure continued healthy operation of the transformer.

External connections of oil-filled transformers are susceptible to overheating, which can lead to serious consequences such as fires, conductor damage, and even explosions. The heat generated can also accelerate the aging of seals, leading to oil leakage and potential flashovers in wet conditions. It is critical to closely monitor these connections and implement strategies to prevent overheating.

Direction of prevention
a. Improve regular transformer testing to include advanced diagnostic techniques such as measuring DC resistance during power outages and using infrared thermometers.
