Transformer oils testing
Transformer condition assessment
We use the Transformer Condition Assessment TCA® method to obtain the best source of information. TCA® in Ecol’s offer is a comprehensive assessment of the dielectric and mechanical condition of a transformer through the analysis of the insulating fluid. The tests include, apart from the physicochemical tests typical for insulating liquids, DGA and furan compounds, e.g. microscopic examination to better understand the problems and risks associated with the continuous operation of transformers.
The most important elements of the service
One of the possibilities of obtaining diagnostic information from the transformer is the identification of suspended particles and sediments contained in the oil. These particles provide information about the processes taking place in the transformer now and in the past. Integrating particle analysis with traditional tests is a useful tool to help understand the mechanisms underlying transformer operation under non-standard conditions or to assess its aging rate.
