Learn the Art of Drying a Damp Transformer

 

A transformer is essential for safety and its maintenance should never be compromised. It converts higher voltages from the main power source into lower voltages suitable for running household appliances.

Not only does it regulate voltage levels but it also enables many power plants to deliver electricity to a wide range of people at economical prices. Additionally, it makes the long distance transmission of electricity safe and sound.

However, just like other electrical equipment, transformers cannot afford moisture in and around them.

Therefore, it is important to get rid of any water in transformers to keep it free from electrical hazards. In this blog, we provide a 5-step guide to safely dry a damp transformer.

5 Easy Steps to Remove Moisture from a Transformer

To prevent issues such as corrosion and insulation degradation, remove water from your transformer by following these five steps:

Step 1: First of all, switch off your electrical supply. Then, unplug the transformer from the electrical system and begin the drying process. Perform this activity either when nobody is on the premises or let everybody know that you are working on the transformer. This is necessary to prevent electrical troubles unintentionally caused by others.

Step 2: Begin to remove moisture from the transformer. You can use a vacuum cleaner to ensure that every single drop is sucked out from inside the transformer.

Step 3: Now it is time to check for damages such as crack, dents, or any other visible signs of wear. Check if the damage is manageable or serious, if it is severe, replacing your transformer would be a wiser option than repairing it.

Step 4: Examine your transformer’s type and size, and accordingly generate gentle heat using dry air, fans, or heaters to gradually dry it out.

Step 5: After the transformer has dried completely, do not forget to test whether it is functioning correctly. To test it, use a multimeter or any other electrical testing device to test its functionality.

With its three manufacturing facilities in Gujarat and one in Karnataka, Atlanta Electricals is ranked among the top 10 transformer manufactures in India. We offer a wide range of transformers, such as power, auto, furnace, inverter duty, and special duty transformers. If you are looking for high-quality transformers.

What is an Inverter Duty Transformer?

Image
  Inverter duty transformers (IDT) can be understood as one type of power transformer only. They send electrical energy from the source to the destination without altering frequency, making them useful in applications which require maintaining the same frequency. Technically, the inverter duty transformers are designed to step up or step down the voltage levels depending on the specific application requirement. It is mainly used in power distribution systems to step up or step down power voltage and transmitted over long distances. So, how do these transformers work? How Do Inverter Duty Transformers Work? Inverters convert direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC) at a lower voltage from sources such as solar panels; the inverter transformer steps up this voltage level to a higher value that is compatible with the electrical appliances to run. Once the inverter generates the AC output, it is directed into the primary winding of the inverter-duty transformer. Then, the AC fl...

India’s Rise in the Global Transformer Market

Image
  The manufacturing sector in India has been witnessing exponential growth in recent years. Various industries such as electronics, automobiles, aerospace, and medical devices play a significant role in industrial diversification and the country’s economic growth. Back in the days only a few countries like China, Germany, and the United States dominated the transformer manufacturing industry. India would rely on these nations for transformers and had a small export footprint in the global market. However, this over reliance on foreign players is significantly reduced and India is exporting transformers more than ever today. All thanks to government initiatives like "Make in India" and the rising domestic demand for power infrastructure, India has been able to increase its global market share and export value. Trust in India's Transformer Sector Grows Transformers enable safe and seamless transfer and distribution of power at appropriate voltage levels to residences and in...
