The dielectric aging index (DAI) of a dry transformer is a measure used to assess the insulation system's condition over time, particularly the ability of the dielectric materials to withstand electrical stress. It reflects the degradation of insulation due to factors like temperature, humidity, and electrical stress, indicating the transformer's remaining lifespan and reliability. A higher DAI suggests better insulation integrity, while a lower index may signal potential failure risks, necessitating maintenance or replacement. Regular monitoring of the DAI helps ensure the safe and efficient operation of dry Transformers.

What is difference between a wet type and dry type transformer?

Transformer oil is a much better electrical insulator than air. So, in large transformers, oil is used to reduce the flashover distances between live internal parts, thus reducing the overall bulk of the transformer. At the same time, oil helps cool the transformer either by natural convection, or by forced circulation.'Dry transformers' are transformer that do not use oil for insulation or cooling purposes. They tend to be transformers with lower voltage and power ratings, where flashover and cooling is far less relevant.


What should be the transformer to building separation distance for fire suppression?

Depends on size of transformer and type (dry,mineral oil, silicone) as well as ground slope and building construction.


Is dry type transformer air conditioned?

To my knowledge no transformer is air conditioned. Some transformers have fans mounted on them, however, for uprating purposes. I don't believe this is an effective cooling mechanism for dry type transformers either (fans are usually used on oil filled transformers).


Where used dry transformer?

Dry transformers are used in industrial and commercial sites where the supply voltage three phase and in the range of 480 or 575 volts. The dry core transformer's primary is two legs of the three phase system and the secondary is, in North America, 120/240 volts. The lower voltages are distributed by a load center to power lights and receptacles for offices and small appliances and equipment.

It is not a good idea to place an indoor, dry type transformer in out door. In outdoor it may subject to rain etc, for which it may not have been designed to.


Will Idebenone Skin Care help with dry skin?

It will help but not significantly help for the reason being is that it is more for aging skin, but aging skin can also be a result for dry skin. Check with your local dermatologist.
