TRANSFORMER OIL SAMPLING

Testing your transformer on a regular basis not only can extend the life of the transformer but also tells you a lot of information about it.

We offer a wide range of transformer oil sampling tests such as:

Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) Analysis – PCB’s were heavily used in the 1970’s in order to increase the oil supply due to low availability and high demand, due to the toxicity of PCB’s it is now a legal requirement to know the PCB levels of your transformer.

Routine Sampling – Knowing the condition of your transformer is important of your expensive transformer, this is a cost effective way to know the overall health of your transformer.

Water Sampling – Water and electricity do not mix, knowing how much water is circulating around your transformer is crucial in the longevity of your transformer.

This covers a multitude of individual test all presented on one easy to follow test sheet. This test includes : Acidity, Water Content, Electrical Strength, Colour, Appearance, Odour, Sediment, Fibres – All crucial elements in knowing what is happening inside your unit.
