Maintenance & Testing Services
Visual & Mechanical Inspection
-
Enclosure integrity, leaks, bushings, terminations, grounding, fans/radiators, gauges, and nameplate verification.
Oil Services (as applicable for liquid-filled units)
-
Sampling and lab analysis (moisture, quality indicators); oil processing or replacement to maintain dielectric strength and cooling.
Thermal Imaging (IR Scans)
-
Identify hot spots at connections, windings, or cooling components to address emerging issues before failures.
Electrical Testing
-
Insulation resistance and polarization index
-
Turns ratio (TTR) and winding resistance
-
Power factor/dissipation factor (as specified)
-
Functional checks of temperature/level alarms and auxiliaries
Connections, Bushings & Accessories
-
Clean, tighten, and align terminations; inspect bushings and gaskets; verify fans, pumps, and temperature controls.
Cooling & Ventilation
-
Clean fins/radiators, confirm airflow paths, and review site ventilation to manage thermal loading.
Programmed Maintenance
-
Condition-based schedules and annual/seasonal routines via facility maintenance services.
Coordinating with broader plant work? Our mechanical services team supports tie-ins and outage planning.
Signs Your Transformer Needs Service
-
Elevated temperatures or frequent high-temp alarms
-
Visible oil leaks, low level, or discolored oil (liquid-filled units)
-
Hot connections, unusual hum, or vibration
-
Erratic voltage, nuisance trips, or protection alarms
-
Corrosion, dust build-up, or damaged bushings/covers
Arizona-Specific Considerations
-
Extreme heat: Accelerates insulation aging—prioritize cooling health, ventilation, and thermal scans.
-
Dust & debris: Impedes heat transfer—plan periodic cleaning of fins, radiators, and enclosures.
-
Monsoon moisture: Drives corrosion and tracking—check seals, gaskets, and weatherproofing before storm season.
Our Process
-
Assessment & Planning – Confirm unit details, access, and outage windows.
-
Testing & Inspection – Mechanical checks, IR scan, electrical tests, and (if applicable) oil sampling.
-
Corrective Actions – Connections, seals, cooling components, and specified repairs.
-
Documentation – Test results, photos, and recommendations for next service interval.
-
Follow-up Program – Seasonal checks and annual maintenance aligned to your load profile.
