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. Rely on the team

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

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
