Transformer oil filtration is a maintenance process used to remove moisture, dust, suspended particles, sludge, and other contaminants from transformer insulating oil.
The oil used in transformer systems performs two important functions: it provides electrical insulation and helps transfer heat away from internal components. Over time, the oil can become contaminated due to moisture, oxidation, dust, and operating conditions.
Transformer oil is a specially formulated insulating and cooling oil used in electrical transformers and other high-voltage equipment. The primary purpose of the oil used in transformer systems is to provide electrical insulation, dissipate heat, and protect internal components from moisture and oxidation.
