Full Description

Scope

This guide applies to mineral oil used in transformers, load tap changers, voltage regulators, reactors, andcircuit breakers. The guide discusses the following:a) Analytical tests and their significance for the evaluation of mineral insulating oil.b) The evaluation of new, unused mineral insulating oil before and after filling into equipment.c) Methods of handling and storage of mineral insulating oil.d) The evaluation of service-aged mineral insulating oil.e) Health and environmental care procedures for mineral insulating oil.The characteristics of the oils discussed in this guide do not include oil that is in factory fill lines, nor does this guide cover reclaimed oil installed in new equipment. The qualities of such oil, if used, should be agreed upon by the manufacturer and the user of the equipment.

Purpose

The purpose of this guide is to assist the user of the equipment in evaluating the serviceability of new, unused oil being received in equipment; oil as received for filling new equipment at the installation site; and oil as processed into equipment. It also assists the operator in maintaining the oil in serviceable condition.

Abstract

Revision Standard - Superseded.Recommendations regarding oil tests and evaluation procedures are made in this guide; references are made to methods of reconditioning and reclaiming conventional petroleum (mineral) dielectric insulating oils; the levels at which these methods become necessary; and the routines for restoring oxidation resistance, where required, by the addition of oxidation inhibitors. The intent is to assist the power equipment operator in evaluating the serviceability of oil received in equipment, oil as received from the supplier for filling new equipment at the installation site, and oil as processed into such equipment; and to assist the operator in maintaining oil in serviceable condition. The mineral oil covered is used in transformers, reactors, circuit breakers, load tap changers, and voltage regulators. Remarks: Revision of IEEE Std C57.106-2002
