Assess the condition of your critical transformers with testing and monitoring solutions by Monitra

Insulation Defects in Both Oil-Filled and Dry-Type Transformers

Transformers are amongst the most operation-critical assets on any HV site, and keeping them in good condition is vital.

In oil-filled transformers, gas bubbles in the oil, voids or gaps in the paper or pressboard insulation and high voltage partial discharge in the bushings and tap-changers can all contribute to the failure of the transformer. In dry-type transformers, surface tracking and voids in the insulation are the most common causes of problems in transformer insulation.

At Monitra, we have a range of testing and monitoring solutions that can help to detect the development of underlying defects and assess the insulation condition of your transformers, increasing safety and avoiding unplanned outages.

Detect Insulation Flaws in Your Transformers with Our Monitoring Solutions

Complete Network Monitoring - Covering All Your Critical Transformers

  • Our high voltage partial discharge sensors can be utilised to localise areas of insulation degradation in the feeding cables, bushings and drain valves of your transformers.
  • By connecting either our own sensors or pre-installed sensors at your assets to our Kronos Monitors, we can inspect your transformers for insulation problems on a 24/7 basis.
  • Combined with the Atlas by Monitra™ interface, you can use the data gained by the Kronos Monitor to pinpoint where essential maintenance and repairs need to be made, keeping your maintenance budget cost-effective whilst extending your assets’ lifespan.
