Cost effective on-site leak repair of power transformers
The proper functioning of oil and SF6 insulated equipment, which are essential components of electrical grids around the world, is critical.
Preliminary assessment of the technical condition of the power transformer based on regular oil testing
As the acquisition of operation data concerning the technical state of the transformer is limited during its lifetime, it is crucial to use all available samples.
More reliable transformer thanks to phenolic-glued pressboard
Röchling is a manufacturer of insulation material made of high-quality laminated pressboard designed to address the highest demands on electrical, mechanical, and thermal properties.
Benefits of smart breathers
The life of the transformer depends on the quality of insulation which depends on temperature and moisture level.
