Full Description
Scope
This guide discusses and recommends analytical test and evaluation procedures for acceptance and use of conventional petroleum (mineral) dielectric oils. Minimum standards, methods of maintenance for these fluids and levels at which these methods become necessary and included. The mineral oils covered in this guide are used in transformers, voltage regulators, switchgear, reactors, circuit breakers and load tap changers. The Characteristic of the oils discussed in this guide does 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 equipment.Purpose
The purpose of this guide is to assist the power equipment operator 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 is serviceable conditions.Abstract
Revision Standard - Superseded.This IEEE Standards product is part of the C57 family on Power Distribution and Regulating Transformers. Abstract: 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 lling 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.
