EMILIO MORALES CRUZ – BENEFITS OF SMART BREATHERS
The life of the transformer generally depends on the longevity of solid insulation. Of the several factors that determine the life expectancy of solid insulation, those that have the greatest effect are temperature and moisture. Breathers are safety barriers for moisture for transformers. Traditional breathers are a low-cost solution, but they require maintenance and often use toxic materials. Smart breathers, on the other hand, require no maintenance, which means that there are no maintenance-associated costs. Additionally, smart breathers offer features like customisation of the silica gel regeneration levels, data logging and self-analysis.
