    TRANSFORMER OIL

    INTRODUCTION

    Transformer oil is like a blood in human body. Once power transformer is charged and commissioned, transformer oil
    becomes a key element to monitor the healthiness of unit and DGA is one of the important tools to predict probable
    fault developing in unit as well as analyse insipient trippings. In service, it is continuously performing the role of
    insulation under electric stress and cooling medium.

    In India, the production technology, sourcing of petroleum crude and chemistry have undergone drastic changes in
    last 5 decades and today we have fairly good understanding of our requirement based on field experience.

    Standardisation Committee thoroughly deliberated on various aspects and has come out with universally acceptable
    data-sheet of transformer oil specification, which could be easily produced and will perform in Indian weather
    conditions.

    It is nevertheless, important to note that transformer oil alone can’t perform unless designer takes care of following
    key points:
    1. Design of cooling system to keep temperature rise under control.
    2. Correct quantum of oil depending upon voltage and MVA rating of transformer.
    3. To plug all probabilities of moisture ingress in transformer – Air-cell/ silica-gel breather/ Sealing System.
    4. To confirm that oil does not react with any insulation material used in transformer.
    5. Characteristics of oil for ageing must be studied in advance depending upon application of transformer in a
    system.
    6. To take feedback from users on similar oil provided to other units in past for similar application.

    The above key points must be covered in design review exercise.

    Data Sheet

    As per Annexure - 6.I and testing of oil as per specified standard is mandatory.

    Pre-Commissioning Checks
    1. Mode of transport and method of supply is important. Manufacturers and customers have to mutually agree on
    this. In case of bulk supply in tankers, due care is required to ensure that tanker is chemically neutral inside and
    sealed firmly for final inspection at its destination. In case, it is supplied in drums, it is to be ensured during usage
    that drum seal is intact.
    2. Transformer oil received at site in tanker must be unloaded to another tank through filter machine only. Its BDV and
    PPM value for water content must be verified to ascertain that there was no infringement during transportation.
    3. Transformer oil received in drums must be stored on an elevated platform. Drums are to be horizontally placed
    with its opening cap in middle.
    4. Before filling oil in transformer through filter machine, it has to be filtered separately in oil tanks and ensure BDV
    and PPM value.
    5. During filtration, temperature of oil must remain within 60°C.
    6. Excessive filtration of oil must be avoided. In case BDV and PPM values are not achieved within 7 days, check the
    entire process thoroughly.
