A Preventative Maintenance Cornerstone
As a universal industry practice, having your transformer oil routinely tested is an indispensable
part of a preventative maintenance program. A transformer oil analysis allows you to monitor your
equipment condition while detecting potential issues. During the transformer oil analysis, we monitor the oil’s water content, contamination, acidity, power factor, and dialectic strength in order to identify issues before they result in equipment failure.
Benefits of a Transformer Oil Test:
- Determines the condition of the equipment
- Ensures equipment reliability
- Reduces downtime and repair costs
- Maximizes the life expectancy of the equipment
- Identifies excessive overheating, overloading, arcing, and suddenly occurring faults
- Detects loose connections, badly butted joints, and paper insulation embrittlement
We recommend that your transformer oil should be tested periodically:
- General and Physical Tests: Every 6 months
- Dissolved Gas Analysis: Every Year
- Furan Testing: Every Two Years
