Join us for a new lesson of the Transformer oil course!

This lesson will be held this Thursday, February 6th at 2 pm CET. It is titled “Oxidation of oil” and will be held by Mr. CS Narasimhan.
In this in-depth lesson, we explore the oxidation process of transformer insulating oil—how it occurs, its consequences, and strategies to mitigate its effects. Learn about how oxidation leads to the formation of acids, water, and sludge, which degrade paper insulation and impair transformer performance.
Key Takeaways:
🔹 Factors contributing to oxidation (temperature, oxygen, copper presence)
🔹 The importance of oxidation inhibitors for oil longevity
🔹 Differences between inhibited and uninhibited oils
🔹 Standard test methods for oil oxidation
🔹 Corrective actions: reconditioning, reclamation, and preventive measures (like adsorption cartridges)
This lesson is perfect for utility engineers, chemists, transformer manufacturers, students, faculty, and oil testing labs. After the live session, the course will remain available on-demand for those who missed it.
