When using oil-immersed transformers, you should be aware that they operate with the aid of oil. So what should you do if an oil-immersed transformer catches fire? What measures should you take? Join Jiangsu Jula editor as we delve into this below.
Transformer faults can also occur during oil immersion operation. Effective handling of various faults in oil-immersed transformers, fully utilizing their performance indicators and advantages, and continuously improving their stability coefficient are crucial. Ignition is one of the more common faults in oil-immersed transformers, with short-circuit faults being the key and more general issues.
Generally, the emergency handling method for igniting oil-immersed transformers involves disconnecting the oil-immersed transformer, cutting off the power supply to all sides, quickly investing in a reserved oil-immersed transformer, and restarting the power supply system from scratch. This will stop the operation of the refrigeration equipment. It is crucial to first dismantle the generator set when igniting an L-type oil-immersed transformer or a high-pressure oil-immersed transformer.
If the transformer's oil-filled unit is damaged by the transformer's canopy, when the oil-filled transformer experiences a fault, the bottom of the transformer should be opened, placing it in an appropriate location. When the oil-filled transformer catches fire, the oil cannot be released to prevent the transformer from exploding. At the same time, fire-fighting equipment should be used immediately. To minimize damage, it is crucial to notify the fire department.
Jiangsu Jula Editor reminds everyone, if an oil-immersed transformer catches fire, please remain calm and do not panic. This will ensure greater stability and efficiency for the oil-immersed transformer. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our factory directly.
