The Risks of Contamination

About the webinar

Insulation is fundamental to transformer performance, providing electrical separation, mechanical support, and protection against failure. Yet even small amounts of contamination can compromise insulation integrity and contribute to costly faults.

In this technical webinar, Weidmann specialists will explore the risks associated with insulation material contamination, examining common contamination sources and their potential impact on transformer performance. We will cover cleanliness requirements and practical rules for production, maintenance, and repair to reduce contamination risks throughout the transformer lifecycle.

The session will also discuss failures and accidents, including the effects of partial discharge and insulation faults. Discover how contamination affects insulation under an electric field and why maintaining high production cleanliness standards is essential for reliable transformer operation.

Join us for this webinar to learn practical strategies to protect insulation integrity, reduce failure risks, and improve transformer reliability.
