What should be included in the performance of routine maintenance of dry-type transformers?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — cleaning the windings, if accessible, with a vacuum cleaner or very low pressure air
Dry-type transformer windings accumulate dust that degrades dielectric properties and impedes heat dissipation. Cleaning with a vacuum or low-pressure dry air maintains proper thermal characteristics without damaging fragile insulation.
