PCB Transformers and Capacitors: From Management to Reclassification and Disposal - First Issue

The present publication aims to provide practical assistance to those responsible for PCB-containing transformers and capacitors, as countries work towards safe management and eventual disposal of this equipment. Guidance is provided on the main issues encountered in the total management of PCB transformers and oils, including their reclassification and taking out of service, but does not replace professional management manuals, which are of course more comprehensive and to which electrical equipment operators should refer. UNEP welcomes information or suggestions that could be incorporated into future revisions of this and its earlier PCB publications.
