Transformer Moisture Reduction Service

Moisture causes severe and irreversible damage to insulation

Every time the moisture content doubles, the paper’s lifespan is cut in half. And every year you delay fixing the problem, you lose approximately two years of reliable service. Degraded paper also increases your risk of flashover and dielectric failure. Utilize DryMax® technology as part of a Moisture Reduction Service and you can increase the reliable life of your transformer.

Stay powered on with an energized transformer moisture reduction solution

DryMax is an energized online dryer solution. DryMax connects directly to your live transformer for as long as it takes to completely remove moisture. Upon installation, it immediately starts preventing further degradation of your paper insulation to improve your transformer reliability.

Equipment to tackle moisture removal and acids

If your transformer shows signs of acid content as well as moisture, InsulMax™ can tackle both. InsulMax processes oil online in much the same way as DryMax does. It works as an oil purifier for use on in-service electrical mobile transformers to remove acids.

There are four methods for moisture reduction, but, chances are, three of the four are not a good fit for your needs. Reliable explains how DryMax® online dryers allow you to remove the moisture from your transformer’s paper insulation while staying energized.
