GANELEC supplies the transformer manufacturing industry with Uninhabited Transformer Oil meeting the IEC 60296 Edition 5 (2020) specifications and is type B TVBU.
Uninhibited Transformer Oil is a type of mineral insulating oil used in transformers that does not contain added antioxidants or stabilisers. It is a basic oil used primarily for insulation and cooling purposes.
Features
- Used in older or less critical transformers where regular maintenance and oil changes are manageable.
- Suitable for transformers in environments where exposure to oxygen and moisture is minimal or where regular oil monitoring and maintenance are part of routine operation.
- Mineral oil is transparent, colourless, and odourless.
- It is flammable, which is why oil-immersed transformers require strict safety measures.
- The quality of mineral oil is critical; it should meet certain standards like ASTM D3487 or IEC 60296 to ensure performance and safety.
Key functions of mineral oil in transformers include
- Insulation: It provides electrical insulation between the internal live components, preventing short circuits and electrical failures.
- Cooling: Mineral oil circulates the transformer’s core and windings, absorbing and transferring heat away from critical components to prevent overheating.
- Protection: It helps protect internal parts from moisture, oxidation, and contaminants, extending the overall lifespan of the transformer.
