A. You have to provide desired characteristics that you are looking for, e.g., are you specifically looking at insulating properties or corrosion resistance? Amit Amembal- Mumbai, India 2006 A. Transformers produce a lot of heat, maybe powder wouldn't be your best coating choice. ![]() Sheldon Taylor supply chain electronics Wake Forest, North Carolina 2006 Q. Mainly we are looking for exterior durability( includes corrosion also ) , the paint applied on transformer.Epoxy zinc rich type of primers and aliphatic PU or what is being used presently. - HYDERABAD, A.P. , INDIA |
A. For internal finishing on Power Transformers, I would recommend a good quality tank lining paint. Made by many companies, but designed for this function. Check ypur local directories for manufacturers near to you. Apply only when the ambient conditions comply with the stated requirements of the manufacturer, especially with regards ambient temperature and dewpoint.
