2024年8月13日 · A transformer fire is a severe and potentially catastrophic event that can have far-reaching consequences for power systems, infrastructure, and public safety.

2019年8月25日 · Minimize the risk of the transformer fire occurring. Protect the potential fire victims, humans and the remainder of the substation installation from also being fire damaged. Maintain supply during the fire, or if not possible then restore the supply as early as possible after the fire. Avoid pollution and contamination of the environment.

Excessive overheating, extremely severe short circuits, faults in the oil and lightning strokes may cause a fire on transformers. Transformer fires are rare but the impact is great.
