Do you know about the life loss and life management of transformers?

Transformer is an indispensable and important equipment in the power system, and its life management is of important significance for ensuring the stable operation of the power system. Transformer life loss and life management will be described below:

● Life loss factors

The life loss of transformer is mainly affected by many factors. The first is the overload operation, long time overload will cause coil heating, accelerate insulation aging. Secondly, the temperature is too high, which will accelerate the aging rate of insulation materials and shorten the life of the transformer. In addition, environmental factors such as humidity, chemical corrosion and mechanical impact will also affect the life of the transformer.

● Life assessment method

In order to effectively manage the life of transformers, scientific evaluation methods are needed. Common assessment methods include status-based maintenance (CBM) and risk assessment. CBM evaluates the health status of the transformer through the real-time monitoring of various indicators; the risk assessment predicts the possible failure based on its operating status and historical data to take corresponding preventive measures.

● Life management measures

In order to extend the life of the transformer, a series of management measures are needed. The first is to control the load reasonably to avoid long overload operation. The second is to strengthen the temperature control to ensure that the transformer operates within the appropriate temperature range. In addition, regular maintenance and overhaul are required to find and deal with potential faults in time. Finally, the advanced online monitoring technology is adopted to monitor the operation status of the transformer in real time to provide data support for life management.

In Summary

To sum up, the life loss of transformer is affected by many factors, and the life management needs to start from both evaluation methods and management measures. Through scientific evaluation and management, the service life of the transformer can be effectively extended to ensure the stable operation of the power system.
