Why is it important to analyze transformer oils?
The dielectric fluid (or transformer oil) is very essential to the cooling process of a transformer. Electrical and thermal stresses or chemical contaminations can shorten the life or cause catastrophic failures of various components in the transformer. At J&M Transformer Lab Services, our comprehensive analysis of the dielectric fluid provides a complete solution to your transformer monitoring needs. We provide rapid analyzes according to IEC, ASTM, and ISO standards, allowing you to quickly identify problems at the first warning signs.
In general, the comprehensive analysis of the dielectric fluid makes it possible to answer at least four questions;
1- Is the dielectric fluid still insulating?
To assess the insulating property of the dielectric fluid, the following analysis are performed:
The identification of those type of damages is accomplished through the dissolved gas analysis
3- Are the insulators in good condition?
The titration of furanic compounds and methanol partly answers this question.
4 - What is the level of pollution of the insulating oil
The analysis of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB), which are carcinogenic compounds to avoid in the transformer oil, allows to answer this question.

To assess the insulating property of the dielectric fluid, the following analysis are performed:
- dielectric breakdown voltage
- moisture content
- neutralization number (acid content)
- dielectric dissipation factor

Why process transformer oils?
The transformer oil has a dual role: dielectric insulator and coolant. Over time and during the normal operation of a transformer, this oil degrades and loses its properties under the effect of voltage, time and overheating. A treatment of the transformer oil allows it to regains its quality allowing the transformer to continue operating at its optimal capacity.
Processing of the transformer oil is an important maintenance operation in the life of a transformer. The oil treatment allows a reduction in the amount of water, the amount of dissolved gas and impurities present in the oil.

At J&M Transform Lab Services, the processing of your transformer oil allows:
- to remove solid particles from the oil
- to substantially reduce the moisture content in the oil, generated from the decomposition of the cellulose paper, and consequently increase the breakdown voltage
- to eliminate the dissolved gases in the oil, generated from the hot spots inside the transformer
