Insulating Fluids in Practice – From Selection to Condition Assessment

Insulating fluids are at the heart of modern transformers and high-voltage systems. But how do you choose the right liquid? How can you spot signs of wear and tear early on? And how do you interpret lab test results correctly? Our one-day workshop provides you with practical knowledge about the requirements, use, and monitoring of insulating fluids. You will learn about the different types of fluids and their characteristics, understand the aging processes and their consequences, and gain the confidence to take samples and interpret lab reports. From the theoretical fundamentals to professional sampling techniques and tried-and-true evaluation methods—this workshop will equip you to reliably assess the condition of your insulating fluids, thereby minimizing downtime and enhancing plant safety.
