Transformer testing

Transformer testing

Transformer testing is a critical aspect of ensuring the reliability and safety of electrical power distribution systems. Transformers are integral components that step up or down voltage levels, and their proper functioning is essential for a stable power supply. Testing transformers involves a series of assessments to confirm their insulation, electrical performance, and overall condition. Routine tests include turns ratio, insulation resistance, and winding resistance tests, while specialized tests like frequency response analysis and dissolved gas analysis can detect potential issues early on. These tests help identify faults, aging, or contamination within the transformer, enabling timely maintenance or replacement, reducing the risk of costly failures and power disruptions.
