Evaluating
the
condition
of
your
oil
can
provide
critical
information
regarding
the
condition
of
your
asset
without
costly
teardowns
or
unnecessary
lubricant
changes.
This
can
reduce
maintenance
costs
and
extend
the
life
of
your
assets.
Oil
Analysis
is
conducted
to
identify
the
properties
essential
to
transformer
oils
and
provide
a
more
accurate
assessment
of
their
condition.
Sample
testing
can
include:
l
Dielectric
strength
l
Acidity
l
Interfacial
tension
l
Color
l
Sediment
l
Dissolved
gas
analysis
l
Dissolved
water
in
oil
analysis
Features
&
Benefits
Oil
analysis
enables
you
to:
l
Reduce
maintenance
costs
by
establishing
safe
and
effective
drain
l
Ensure
maximum
equipment
life
by
preventing
premature
failure
l
Identify
potential
problems
before
they
negatively
impact
your
business
l
Help
reduce
lubricant
and
disposal
costs
Scope
When
transformer
oil
deteriorates,
sludge
ultimately
forms
and
coats
the
windings
resulting
in
decreased
cooling
capacity
and
degradation
of
the
solid
insulation
system.
Proper
oil
analysis
is
critical
in
determining
the
operating
efficiency
of a
transformer.
