Transformer Cooling

A little energy lost in a transformer must be dissipated as heat. Although this energy is but a small portion of the total energy undergoing transformation, it becomes quite large in amount in transformers of larger kVA ratings. To maintain efficiency and life expectancy the transformer's cooling system needs to be operating at peak performance. For dry-type transformers, the ventilation system of the room should be inspected to make sure it is operating efficiently. For forced air-cooled systems, the fan...
