Transformer oil leakage is a common problem in oil immersed transformers. Even a small leak may affect insulation performance and transformer reliability.
Main Causes of Transformer Oil Leakage
1. Aging Sealing Gaskets
Transformer tanks and accessories use rubber gaskets to prevent oil leakage.
After long-term operation, gaskets may become hard, 깨진, or lose elasticity due to:
- high temperature
- oil aging
- environmental conditions
Common sealing materials include NBR, FKM, and silicone rubber.
2. Loose Connections
Transformer accessories are connected by bolts and flanges.
Long-term vibration and thermal expansion may reduce sealing pressure, causing oil leakage around:
- 부흐홀츠 릴레이
- 오일 레벨 표시기
- 부싱
- 밸브
3. Damaged Accessories
Oil leakage may also come from transformer accessories.
예를 들어, damaged seals inside an oil level indicator or Buchholz relay can cause oil loss.
Regular inspection helps identify leakage problems early.
How to Reduce Transformer Oil Leakage?
Reliable sealing materials and high-quality transformer accessories are important for preventing oil leakage.
During maintenance, engineers should check:
- gasket condition
- oil level changes
- accessory connections
- leakage marks
Proper maintenance can extend transformer service life and improve operating safety.
