Guidelines for Handling Water-Damaged Electrical Equipment

It’s the first day of hurricane season in the Atlantic and time to start getting prepared if you’re living in hurricane territory. The following is a link to a helpful publication that provides guidelines on how to handle electrical equipment that has been exposed to water through flooding, fire fighting activities, hurricanes, etc. Electrical equipment exposed to water can be extremely dangerous if reenergized without proper reconditioning or replacement. This is important information for everyone to know – including suppliers, installers, inspectors, and even just users of electrical products.

I am not sure I agree with the document wiht regards to transformers. They are nothing different really than an electric motor in thier construction. A dry type transformer should be able to be steam cleaned and chemically degreased if neccesary. Then it can be oven dried and redipped in varnish megger tested and should be fine as far as I am concerned. your comments?
