The Challenge
The slightest transformer oil leakage can be hazardous as oil can get percolated into earth & contaminate ground water. Heavy leakages will also result in high operating cost of transformers. To ensure transformers are free of any oil leakage, the repair must be reliable and permanent. Replacing gasket, oil seal and parts, wastes valuable time and is expensive.
‘MRO 6004 TRANSFORMER MAINT KIT’ provides a far more effective alternative that does not require disassembling- as it is reliable and fast!
The Solution
The perfect solution for arresting oil leakage in transformers is ‘MRO 6004 TRANSFORMER MAINT KIT’
Standard Operating Procedure-SOP
- All parts to be repaired must be thoroughly cleaned and de-greased with ‘MRO 1011 KLEANER DEGREEZER’. Inspect and identify the exact leakage area. Mark the area of leakage
- Remove paint from area to be repaired with ‘MRO 1017 PAINT REMOVER’
- All parts to be repaired must be thoroughly cleaned and de-greased again with ‘MRO 1011 KLEANER DEGREEZER’.
- Initial leakage arresting to be done with ‘MRO 8051 – S STICK/ MRO 8011 – E PUTTY’. It is recommended to bring the leakage to one point if it is on a weld joint or a flange. Make a fresh batch of ‘MRO 8051 S STICK’ and plug the leakage using extra pressure with hands.
Strengthen the area with ‘MRO 8000 TI PUTTY’ after arresting the leakage. Reinforcement tape may be used between layers for thickness building and strengthening.

APPLICATION CASE HISTORY ISMT – JEJURI, MAHARASHTRA
Equipment: Crompton Greaves make 50 MV Transformer & various other transformers.
PROBLEM:
There were Oil leakages in OLTC joints, valves, flanges, radiator joints and bushing. Shut down and complete drainage of oil for repair was not possible as it was time consuming. Oil was getting percolated into earth & contaminating ground water. Heavy leakage resulted in high operating cost of the transformer.
CUSTOMERS BENEFIT:
With minimal investment in ‘MRO 6004 TRANSFORMER MAINT KIT’ oil leakage completely stopped which resulted in substantial returns by eliminating downtime and avoiding transformer oil wastage. Customer has successfully used the same products earlier.
