Zagrożenia eksploatacyjne transformatora energetycznego spowodowane uszkodzeniem przepustu izolatorowego

In the paper are presented operational hazards of power transformers caused by defects of bushings. There are discussed the basic diagnostic methods for appraisal of technical conditions of a bushing in the used power transformer. There are presented selected failures of power transformers caused by defects of bushings. In the paper is underlined necessity of increasing frequency of carrying out bushings tests in framework of current control of transformer technical conditions what results in increase of transformer availability in the power system.
