Abstract :
A significant proportion of power transformers are approaching the end of their designed life. However, the Utilities are coming under increasing pressure to delay asset upgrade costs. Therefore, in order to determine whether delaying a replacement for a particular power transformer is safe the Utilities require tools to help them reach this decision.
