Transformer Maintenance
Proper testing and maintenance performed at the predefined intervals can uncover a problem before a unit fails resulting in costly outages.
It is therefore of utmost importance to have planned preventive maintenance programs. Maintenance should include comprehensive oil testing as defined in the quality system. Maintenance and evaluation of results should be based upon internationally accepted guidelines, ie ASTM; IEC; Doble; SD Meyers and ABB.
Test results should then be used for the following:
Frequency of planned maintenance
Evaluation of expected performance of transformer fleet
Replacement of transformers
