Introduction.
The primary purpose of transformer maintenance is to ensure the internal and external parts of the transformer and accessories are kept in good condition and “fit for purpose” and able to always operate safely. A secondary and equally essential purpose is to maintain a historical record of the condition of the transformer.
Maintenance, availability and reliability are closely related and the transformer user has to specify a level of maintenance that will ensure an acceptable level of transformer reliability.
This information has been prepared to help transformer users to define and apply best practice for transformer maintenance related to liquid immersed transformers and is not intended in any way to set the level of maintenance that a user must perform on a transformer to maintain a manufacturer’s warranty. The required maintenance should be set out clearly in the documentation supplied with the transformer.
