Leak repair with PowerPatch® reduces the length and frequency of power disruptions to ensure the maximum efficiency of the grid. PowerPatch® is an easy and fast way to repair leaks in transformers by following a step-by-step process. PowerPatch® is successfully applied in numerous installations around the globe, in extreme climates and difficult spots
Product/Package Notes:
- PowerPatch® Transformer Leak Repair comes in several field-friendly forms.
- PowerPatch® EPCT comes in a side-by-side cartridge (shown above) that mixes the two parts as they are applied. A plunger tool is required for application.
- PowerPatch® EP is a thicker paste that comes in premeasured Part A and B cups. The two parts are hand mixed before application.
- PowerPatch® EPSC is a slower-curing version recommended for large repairs where more pot life is needed.
- The PowerPatch® Sealant is provided in kits with the preparation and patching materials necessary for a good repair. See details in the product table below.
Specifications and Applications:
Electrical Reliability: Moisture can damage transformers. Sealing leaks quickly as they occur is the key to keeping moisture from entering transformers and causing premature or catastrophic failure.
Chemical Resistance: Sealant chemically resists dielectric fluids, SF6 gas, ultraviolet light, water, and oil.
Leak Sealing Performance: Sealant shows good adhesion to numerous metals, ceramics, and rubbers; and no leakage under high pressure (up to 100 PSI) with both air and polybutene oil.
Electrical Testing: Sealant is non-conductive. Dielectric strength is 43 kV using ASTM D149, Method A. Platen samples are cast and fully cured.
