Application of Maintenance-Free Transformer Breathers in Substations

Currently, traditional-type breathers are widely used in transformers. The moisture-absorbing capability of silica gel is still judged by operation and maintenance personnel through visual observation of the color change of silica gel beads. Subjective judgment by personnel plays a decisive role. Al
