Recycling transformer

Disposal of transformers is a necessary procedure for preserving the environment. A transformer is a device for converting parameters (amplitudes and phases) of voltages and currents. Even a non-working device can have negative consequences for nature, so it must be destroyed. Self-treatment of hazardous substances will cause negative consequences for the environment. Doing it yourself is forbidden, so you need to seek the help of professionals.

What is a transformer?

Transformer - a device that is used in distribution and home appliances, in power lines. It was also used in various signaling, amplifying, rectifying and other devices.

How is the disposal of transformers?

The device should be transported in specialized transport. The plant performs strategic disposal of the device. This process takes ten days. After that, with the help of special equipment, experts dispose of the malicious device.

What happens if the transformers are not disposed of?

Transformers have a certain service life. After its expiration, each transformer must be transferred to a company whose specialists are engaged in the disposal of hazardous waste for disposal. Transformers have hazardous components: the dielectric fluid consists of polychlorinated biphenyls or biphenyls (PCB, PCB), because of which, after failure, the devices are classified as waste of the first class of danger.

These substances are not subject to destruction even under high temperatures. Among the types of waste transformers are distinguished:

• PCB based oils;
• capacitorspartially contaminated with PCB or PCB, with or without filling.

Oils sovtol contained in all waste sealed transformers, they have different chemical composition and are extremely toxic and fire hazard. Only licensed firms have the right to liquidate transformers.

PCBs are persistent organic pollutants that pose a threat to the environment and adversely affect the human body. May cause cancer, mutagenic diseases, nervous disorders, reduced immunity, children's pathologies, etc.

When released into the environment (soil, water) PCBs accumulate for a long time, and then migrate due to the circulation of substances in nature.

Why it is impossible to independently dispose of transformers?

Independent destruction of a transformer can face serious consequences. Therefore, in no case should not risk their own health. Recycling of power transformers by non-specialists is punishable.
