DON'T MISS THE MOST CRITICAL ISSUES ON INSPECTION

TRANSFORMERS NEED A KEEN EYE When it comes to transformers, a simple mistake from a rushed or untrained maintenance staff can create a costly problem for your facility. In this case, a radiator flange on a transformer received new gaskets by just such a team, which didn’t include a critical butterfly valve. This resulted in leaks that lead to a second expensive outage for the facility. Get the job done right the first time. Rely on the team at RMS Energy for a FREE VISUAL INS

CAN YOU READ THESE GAUGES?

Neither could we!! From time to time, our crews run into issues that may prevent proper monitoring of transformers and other critical equipment. As in our example, gauges that are fogged, cracked or damaged can get in the way of a true reading on oil levels and temperatures. Without a good reading, transformers can run hot or low on oil, undetected by maintenance personnel. With no early detection, major repairs may be needed that result in costly downtimes.

LEAKY TRANSFORMER?

LEAKY TRANSFORMER?

IS YOUR TRANSFORMER LEAKING? | A leaky transformer can lead to major problems, with moisture resulting in a breakdown of insulating fluids, shortening the life of the paper insulation. On the outside, insulating fluid leaks can generate further deterioration of the radiator flange gaskets, damage to gauges, external environmental and safety problems. While such leaks are common, some maintenance personnel can easily miss the signs of corrosion, thermocouple issues, coolant re

COMPLIMENTARY VISUAL INSPECTION

GET A COMPLIMENTARY VISUAL INSPECTION | Often times, simple things can be overlooked when it comes to transformer operations. A bad gauge, a misreading, or in the case of the problem below, an abnormal coolant temperature reading, which could be a sign of a needed oil top-off or system repairs. In this case, a 47-degree Celsius reading spotted by the RMS Energy team meant that there was a possible leak or coolant issue, and if left untreated, could have led to an unplanned ou

Around The Clock Monitoring

Electromagnetic Signature Analysis (EMSA) is a highly advanced technology representing a major step forward in electrical testing and diagnostics. EMSA testing is performed while electrical system facilities are at full power. No shutdown or outage is necessary, allowing equipment to run unimpeded. This is a major advantage to energy clients that are concerned about downtime during scheduled maintenance procedures. RMS Energy teams are fully trained and equipped to perform EM

Transformer Assembly

Transformers are the single most important part of any power system. Transformers that are improperly installed or lack a preventive long-term maintenance routine can risk failures that lead to excessive downtime and costly repairs. Any power facility with a transformer must seek regular and reliable large power transformer and substation equipment field service. When it comes to transformers, think RMS Energy. From transformer installation and assembly, to oil processing,

July is Emergency Services Month!

Sometimes a little detective works goes a long way. Our RMS Energy team of sleuths were called to a power generation site that required some sniffing around to find a cracked insulator. After some hunting and pecking, with insulators being pulled one by one, the cracked insulator was found and replaced. Problem solved! When an emergency arises, call RMS Energy. Whether it's a transformer rewind, a fire, damage from hurricanes, or other unforeseen situations, we'll deploy to y
