Webinar Description:
Hydrogen generation within inverter transformers has become a growing concern across renewable energy assets. Left unaddressed, it can signal insulation stress, early-stage faults, and long-term reliability risks. This webinar will address the issue of hydrogen gassing and degassing.

Learning Takeaways:
· Extending asset life & risk mitigation
· Degassing mineral-filled vs. natural ester-filled units
