What is a mining oil-immersed transformer?
It is a type of transformer designed for mining operations, using oil as a cooling and insulating medium to withstand harsh environments.
What are the key features of mining oil-immersed transformers?
They are built with robust materials, high-temperature resistance, and enhanced safety features to operate in dusty, humid, and high-load mining conditions.
How does the oil in the transformer function?
The oil acts as both a coolant to dissipate heat and an insulator to prevent electrical discharges within the transformer.
What safety measures are in place for oil-immersed transformers in mines?
They include pressure relief devices, temperature monitoring, and flame-retardant materials to prevent fires and explosions.
How often should the oil be tested and replaced?
Regular oil testing should be done every 6-12 months, with replacement based on degradation levels and operational conditions.
Can mining oil-immersed transformers handle voltage fluctuations?
Yes, they are designed to manage varying load demands and voltage fluctuations common in mining operations.
What maintenance is required for these transformers?
Routine checks include oil level inspection, cleaning bushings, tightening connections, and monitoring cooling systems.
Are these transformers suitable for underground mining?
Yes, but they must meet additional safety standards for ventilation and fire resistance due to confined spaces.
What are the common causes of failure in mining oil-immersed transformers?
Overloading, oil contamination, insulation breakdown, and poor maintenance are typical causes of failure.
How do I choose the right oil-immersed transformer for a mining application?
Consider factors like load capacity, voltage requirements, environmental conditions, and compliance with mining safety regulations.
