Solutions for Transformer Oil Leaks

The oil-filled large power transformer is still the workhorse of the electric power industry. Even with the advances in the technology of other insulating media, the large oil-filled transformer is still the tried and true major component of the transmission-type electric substation. Additionally, the oil-filled transformer is still the norm when it comes to sub transmission and distribution substations too. The opinion of this author is that many of these transformers were built in the pre-computer era with margin factors based upon manual calculations performed by engineers with a built-to-last mentality. Thus, there are many older oil-filled transformers in service throughout the world. Even though they were built to last, they do have their share of old age issues coming to bear. One of the greatest issues is oil leaks. Gaskets on bushings, radiator flanges, pumps, piping etc. are deteriorating and leaking. If oil is leaking out, there is a risk of moisture and air being drawn in via capillary action, compromising the transformer oil insulating qualities.

Application Focus

Transformer is susceptible to oilleakage which can be caused by corrosion or faulty welds. This leads to breakdown of fins, flanges, valves, seals, and pipework.
If leakarenot stemmed and repaired, further deterioration will occur resultingin

  • Loss of oil
  • Environmental damages
  • Downtime
  • Ongoing maintenance cost
  • Potential high replacement costs

These costly implications can be quickly and simply Prevented using the Shree Ram Sealing Engineer leak sealing solutions. By utilizing a cold welding applied Shree Ram Sealing polymer repair composite and sealed permanently in-sit, reducing downtime and costly replacement of parts.

Transformer Oil Leaks

  • Avoid expensive drain down procedures
  • Reduce expensive replacement costs

Transformer Leak Sealing Solutions

The classic repair technique is to take the transformer out of service, drain the oil (usually thousands of gallons), remove radiators, remove bushings, etc. Taking equipment out of service for weeks at a time, and utilizing large substation crews, cranes, tankers, vacuum fill-oil processing trailers, etc. can be a costly endeavor. Today's electric utility management is monitoring expenses closely. Transmission operations are wheeling power from far away generation sources to the local utility distribution load centers. Outages on transmission equipment are closely scheduled, and lengthy outages are not granted on short notice for emergent repairs. The operations staff are coming to the maintenance staff asking for other solutions to address theseoil leakrepairs.
