Saving 1 million litres of insulation liquids
Marius Grisaru
Abstract
Mineral oils, such as esters and silicone oils, are precious materials, and their manufacturing processes have a negative impact on the environment and reduce the stock of crude oil in the case of mineral oils or natural resources in the case of esters oils. Also, silicone and all other types of insulating liquids impose stress on the environment and, of course, on the transformer users’ budgets.
This article will describe the two main methods that have a tremendous effect on reducing the waste of those important materials and will prove them as true: avoiding oil leakage and synchronizing the oil tests with the procedures.
With all those improvements, we could avoid wasting at least 1 million litres of insulating oil annually.
