Transformers are key parts of the power grid system, which connects power plants, transmission lines, and distribution centers to ensure that electrical power reaches its end users. Transformers convert voltage levels up or down to transmit electricity to consumers.
The integrity of a transformer’s insulation system is essential in guaranteeing its life, which is expected to be over 25 years.
Most power and distribution transformers are liquid type (leveraging oil cooling) vs. dry type (leveraging air cooling). Oil is more efficient at cooling, allowing for higher power ratings and a smaller footprint.
This new white paper from Saint-Gobain Tape Solutions examines the performance of adhesive tapes in oil. It outlines a range of tests to assess the quality of oil and the performance of adhesive tapes used within these systems.
