Current Transformer Life Expectancy. in this paper, the ieee thermal ageing model is utilized to build an enhanced transformer life expectancy (tle) model. therefore, if the transformer is well maintained and serviced it should have a life expectancy well in excess of 20 years. manufacturers often define the expected life of power transformers to be between 25 and 40 years. the average life span of general purpose dry type transformers are more than 25 years. based on testing and modeling, the ieee guide defined the normal life expectancy of a new transformer to be 180,000 hours (20.55 years). Evaluation of transformer life in reliability and economic studies involves a changing life expectancy and failure rate. This is for continuous operation at 110°c hot spot temperature. Continuous operation at 98°c (12° below nominal) gives an expected life of 627,000 hours (3.5x longer). If an air cooled dry type transformer operated in dust free, well ventilated avoiding direct hit, dust, wet and humidity with rated parameters, it may last more than 35 years even 50+ years.
