What Are The Advantages Of Oil-Immersed Transformers In Insulation Materials？

In the operation of oil-immersed transformers, insulation materials play an important role and have many significant advantages.

First of all, oil-immersed transformer insulation materials can effectively reduce heat loss. Transformer in the operation process will produce a lot of heat, if the heat can not be effectively controlled and saved, not only will cause a waste of energy, but also may affect the normal operation and service life of the transformer. Excellent thermal insulation materials have low thermal conductivity, can form a good insulation layer, prevent heat transfer to the outside, improve energy efficiency, reduce operating costs.
Secondly, good insulation performance helps to maintain the stability of the internal temperature of the transformer. Oil-immersed transformers need to work in a relatively stable temperature range to ensure their performance and safety. Insulation materials can slow down the influence of external temperature changes on the transformer inside, so that the transformer can maintain a more stable working temperature under different environmental conditions, reduce the damage caused by temperature fluctuations on the equipment, and extend the service life of the equipment.

Insulation materials also have fire and flame retardant properties. This is essential for the safe operation of oil-immersed transformers. Because the transformer is full of insulating oil, once a fire occurs, the consequences are unimaginable. After special treatment, excellent insulation materials can prevent the spread of the fire to a certain extent, buy time for fire rescue and reduce the loss caused by the fire.

In addition, insulation materials can effectively protect against moisture and corrosion. Transformers are usually installed outdoors or in humid environments, where moisture and corrosive substances may invade the inside of the equipment, affecting its performance and life. The insulation material can form a barrier to prevent the entry of moisture and corrosive substances, protect the internal structure and components of the transformer, and ensure its long-term stable operation.

Insulation materials can also play a role in reducing noise. Transformer operation will produce a certain noise, insulation material can absorb and isolate part of the sound, reduce the impact of noise on the surrounding environment, improve the comfort of the working environment.

From an environmental perspective, some new types of insulation materials have the characteristics of recyclability and low pollution. They have less impact on the environment during production and use, and meet the requirements of modern society for green and environmentally friendly materials.

Moreover, the installation and maintenance of the insulation material is relatively simple. They usually have a lower weight and better flexibility, which is easy for construction personnel to install and remove. When the equipment needs maintenance or overhaul, the insulation material can be quickly removed and reinstalled without too much difficulty in maintenance.

For example, in a large industrial site, an oil-immersed transformer using high-quality insulation materials can maintain a stable operating temperature in the winter, reducing the risk of failure due to low temperatures. At the same time, in the high temperature environment in summer, the rise of the internal temperature is effectively controlled, and the load capacity of the transformer is improved. In an unexpected fire accident, the flame retardant performance of the insulation material played a key role in preventing the fire from spreading to the interior of the transformer, and avoiding significant losses for the enterprise.

In summary, oil-immersed transformer insulation materials have significant advantages in reducing heat loss, maintaining temperature stability, fire and flame retardant, moisture and corrosion prevention, reducing noise, environmental protection and easy installation and maintenance. Selecting suitable insulation material is of great significance to improve the performance, safety and reliability of oil-immersed transformer.
