Oil Filtration For Load Tap Changers

The whole process of maintaining a load tap changer compartment from scheduling crews and preparing work orders to handling oil and filtering solids and sludge is time consuming and expensive. We specialize in the application of Load Tap Changer Filtration Equipment. Our unit continuously pulls insulating oil from the LTC oil reservoir, super cleans it and then pumps the cleaned, dried oil back to the opposite end of the LTC oil compartment. The end result is like-new oil in the LTC, all of the time.

There is a cost benefit to having clean oil in your Load Tap Changers; clean oil minimizes arc duration and severity, extends contact life, and eliminates coking deposit-related equipment service and failures.

Filtration Element Quality

The life expectancy of a filter in service is a critical measure of the cost-effectiveness of a filtration program. Our filtration elements remove and hold moisture over their entire surface area, and are superior to filters which are moisture-active over a very small surface.

Protection Against the Accidental Release of Oil

The accidental release of oil from the filtration system or connecting lines is a vital concern for specifying on-line filtration equipment. Filmax’s Oil Spill Containment Shutdown System (Patent Pending) will detect oil leakage, shut down the system, and activate an alarm to energy control, isolating the system to protect your Load Tap Changer.

Equipment Serviceability

A key consideration for a successful and economical On-Line Oil Filtration Program is equipment durability and serviceability.

Filmax Load Tap Changer Filtration Systems are designed with the highest quality components, wrench-swinging room, and off-the-shelf replacement parts to provide for longer equipment life and simple maintenance.
