Some Tests and Their Values for the Transformer / Insulating Oil

Appearance
The fresh transformer / insulating oil should be clear and free from the suspended or dissolved matter. The transformer oil should be visibly clear with no impurities in service. Any sludge deposit below 0.02% by mass can be overlooked.
Water Content
The oil should be free from free water, it present, then it is the sign of dissolved water reaching oil's saturation point. The PPM or the moisture level in new oil should not be greater than 20 PPM, but can go upto 30 PPM in service if greater than this indicates that the inner paper insulation is also having moisture.
Breakdown Voltage
The BDV (Break Down Voltage) of the oil should be 30 kV or slightly more but can be reduced with in-service oil.
Acidity
The highest value for new oil is 0.03 mg KOH/gm but with usage, this value can go up to 0.05 mg KOH/gm.
Viscosity
The maximum viscosity of oil should be 27 cSt.
Flashpoint
The accepted value of flashpoint is 140° Celsius (minimum), which do not decrease more than 15° Celsius from initial value.
Pour point
The maximum value is -6° Celsius.

Other tests for resistivity, dissolved gases, oxidation stability, and interfacial tension should also be conducted in a periodic fashion.

Bio Toilet - Working and Advantages

Bio toilet disintegrates and decomposes the human waste into water and biogas. The decomposition is carried out by bacteria in the Bio-digestion tank. Bio-toilets are environment-friendly and reduces the sewage problem and also reduces the water consumption in the toilets. As traditional toilets requires 3-6 litres of flushing, but bio-toilet requires only .5 to 1 liters. Working of Bio Toilet Bio-toilets contains of two parts, one is the toilet cabin and other is the Bio Digester Tank. The toilet outlet is connected with digester tank. The bio digester tank is divided into multiple sections to process the human waste in different stages. Once the human waste is flushed through the toilet, the waste goes into the bio digester tank. The Anaerobic bacteria present in the bio digester tank starts to digest the human waste. These anaerobic materials can withstand a long range of temperatures ranging from -40⁰C to 45⁰C . These anaerobic bacteria decomp...

Transformer Oil Filtration - is it good or bad?

A static device which transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through the process of electromagnetic induction is know as Transformer. It is most commonly used to increase or decrease voltage levels between circuits. Since transformer oil also know as insulating oil works as a coolant also, so it has to be stable at very high temperatures, in both electrical and chemical conditions. Therefore, the transformer oil must have a high flash point of about 140° Celsius or higher, a low pour point of about -30° Celsius or less, and a dielectric breakdown voltage of about 28 to 30 kilo volts or higher. Advantages of Transformer Oil Filtration The transformer oil filtration becomes necessary as with time the transformer oil or insulation oil gets contaminated with dirt, moisture and dissolved gases. The timely and regular filtration of transformer oil ensures longer transformer's life. Transformer oil filtration process not only maintains but also increases its...

Happy Indian Army Day 2022

Indian Army Day is observed every year on 15 January. It is celebrated to acknowledge the importance of, and honour our nation's army. The date 15 January marks the day when General (later Field Marshal) K M Carriappa took over the command of Army from General Sir FRR Bucher, the last British Commander-in-Chief in 1949.
