If your business owns one or more transformers, you might want to consider testing them annually. If your transformer needs service or repairs, an inspection will uncover the problem before the unit fails. For your business this can save the cost of idled equipment and workers by keeping power flowing to your building. Since it can take several weeks to get a replacement transformer, the potential costs to your company can be very large. Transformer inspection can help you to avoid an outage. You may also be able to repair your transformer instead of replacing it.
Every year, RPU finds transformers that have hot connections and are beginning to produce combustible gases. The gases result when oil in the transformer breaks down as the result of hot connections inside the transformer. The gases can reach an explosive concentration and can cause a fire or damage the transformer. Infrared inspection detects hot connections. Gas analysis detects deteriorating oil. Together, these two inspection tools help assure that your company will have reliable power and will avoid expensive outages related to transformer failure.
