TRANSFORMER BREATHERS MARKET ANALYSIS

Transformer Breathers MarketSize and Trends

Growing power generation sector across the globe is the major factor fuelling the growth of transformer breathers market

Breathers are majorly used in transformer to maintain the humidity in conservator tank. Electricity and its applications have become ubiquitous in human lives thus propelling demand for uninterrupted power supply. Even a small duration of power interruption may cost a major loss of productivity, especially in industrial sector. Increasing number of energy generation methods to meet high demand for power is fuelling growth of the market. For instance, according to Enerdata’s Global Energy report, global electricity production reached to 24,659 T Wh in 2016, up from 24,107 TWh in 2015. More Power Generation will require expansion of Transformation and Distribution (T&D) Network, which in turn is expected to increase installation of transformers. Breathers are an integral part of power transformers and distribution transformers. The transformer breather is a cylindrical vessel connected at one end of the bend pipe extending from the conservator of an oil immersed transformers. Breathers allow the air to flow outwards via breathers during over loading and outside air to comes in during lite load. But moisture present in the outside air deteriorates the oil contained in the transformers. This is where Breathers play an important role.
