Effect of Aging in Losses of Transformers and Conductors
Effect of Aging in Losses of Transformers and Conductors
(OP)
How does the aging of power system equipments, such as power transformers and conductors, affect its loss? Are there any correlation between age and loss?

Vibration can abrade the core interlaminar insulation and increase core loss.
Heat transfer surfaces can get fouled, resulting in higher temperature (for a given load), resulting in slight increase in conductor resistance (approx 0.4% per degree C) and resistive losses.

Copper and iron losses do not increase with aging.
