Transformer Explosion

Transformer Explosion and Fire

• An arc is generated due to internal fault in the Transformer.
• High energy flows through transformer.
• Leading to decomposition of insulation/oil at high temperature.
• Top oil surface attains temperature higher than ignition point.
• Huge thermal energy is generated thereby emitting combustible gases.
• Pressure built-up resulting in tank rupture normally at top cover.
• Hot oil when comes in contact with the oxygen catches fire.
• After explosion during the fire, conservator oil spreads in the surrounding further aggravating the fire .

• Use our N₂ Injection transformer Explosion and Fire Protection System.
