©2013 Doble Engineering Company. All Rights Reserved Transformer Life Extension5 Many ageing process are affected by load, e.g. oil and solid insulation ageing. May be promoted by increased load as a result of plant upgrades. May also be promoted by increased load as a result of lower load power factor. Change from base load to daily starts or peaking should in principal result in reduced oil and solid insulation ageing. Cooler controls may need to be adjusted to respond more rapidly. Transformer Life Extension

Oil can be reinhibited, regenerated or changed if necessary. Solid insulation is more difficult to manage. Taking samples of solid insulation for testing is difficult. Can estimate solid insulation ageing from oil or electrical tests. Oil tests in particular are easy, but interpretation is difficult. Cannot renew solid insulation in the field.

©2013 Doble Engineering Company. All Rights Reserved Transformer Life Extension8 Some ageing processes are simply a result of exposure to the environment, e.g. external corrosion. Many power stations are at very unfavourable locations for external corrosion, so this may become a serious problem on older transformers. It can be prevented and sometimes also reversed by correct maintenance. Many generator transformers are fitted with compact heat exchangers. These can also suffer from corrosion and fouling, which reduced their effectiveness leading to increased oil and solid insulation ageing. Transformer Life Extension

All Rights Reserved Transformer Life Extension10 Transformers are fitted with a wide range of accessories, some of which are also subject to ageing processes, e.g. indicators going out of calibration, tapchanger contact wear. On older transformers, consumables may be difficult to obtain. On older transformers, site staff may lack or loose the necessary skills to perform specialised maintenance. Rare and obsolete models of tapchanger are a major maintenance challenge in some markets. Errors in maintenance and repair can result in failure. Transformer Life Extension
