Hey guys good day;
Attached is a thermal image of a 50MVA power transformer conservator tank, How do you rate it? Is this a proof of a low oil insulation level? Is the recorded maximum temperature not enough to raise the oil level? Be informed that thermal image is taken during peak hour and transformer load is 25MW. Below are the recorded information. Thank you very much and more power...

| Isn't this just showing the oil level in the conservator? There should be a sight glass or an indicator to confirm the level. The thermal image/temperature rises don't appear to be unusual. |

As the generated report is forwarded to the maintenance engineer on that particular substation, he confirmed that their oil level indicator is defective, and their low oil level annunciation alarmed often times. Anyway, said transformer is due for annual PMS next month and lets see what the real score is... |
