Abstract :
This paper provides guidance for proper selection of transformers by type to meet various operating conditions encountered in the petroleum industry. Transformer characteristics, utilization of force cooling, loading transformers by temperature, and benefits to be gained by proper maintenance are discussed. Observation of these guidelines can result in economic and most efficient use of power transformers for the petroleum industry.
