Power transformers are essential parts of power plants, industrial facilities, and electrical grids. To guarantee the effective transmission and distribution of electricity, they are in charge of stepping up or stepping down voltage levels. Transformers can malfunction for a number of reasons, though, which can result in expensive downtime, equipment damage, or even widespread power outages despite their sturdy construction. The most common causes of power transformer failures—such as overheating, insulation failure, electrical surges, and more—will be covered in this blog.
