“The UNE-EN 50708-2-4 standard sets requirements for preventing failures due to loss of tightness, thereby preventing oil leaks, damage to electrical insulation and environmental risks”
TECNALIA positions itself as a strategic partner of electrical equipment manufacturers and utilities in the new European regulations on transformers.
The European Union updates regulatory requirements on an ongoing basis to ensure that electrical transformers are efficient, sustainable and safe, which is a critical challenge for manufacturers and grid operators. The UNE-EN 50708-2-4 standard sets specific requirements to this end to prevent failures due to leaks, a critical problem that can cause oil leaks, affect electrical insulation, jeopardise the environment and prevent transformers from operating safely.
TECNALIA offers a comprehensive solution: its electrical equipment laboratory is the first in southern Europe to be accredited to carry out tests under UNE-EN 50708-2-4. This specialised test assesses and minimises the risk of failure in corrugated tanks before transformers are put into service, providing:
- A guarantee of compliance with the new European requirements.
- A lower risk of failure while transformers are operating.
- A minimisation of oil leaks that that could negatively impact the environment.
TECNALIA has experience in international standards
It backs up this service with extensive experience in international standards such as IEC 60076, UNE-EN 21428 and UNE-EN 21538. This makes TECNALIA a key partner for manufacturers and operators that are looking to comply with the most demanding standards and optimise the performance of their equipment.
