Severity Lifespan Model

The Severity-Lifespan Model (SL) provides a means of evaluating particular transformer risks to enable effective plans to be put in place for condition recovery. Present theory supports the notion that the transformer health is directly related to the condition of the insulation [Cigre WG12.18]. Insulation deterioration can be rapid due to high energy and mechanical forces or...
