What Inspections Include: Inspections are conducted daily, monthly, and annual, usually covering data on a range of items from basic ground resistance tests, grounding, and exterior checks to insulation resistance, winding configuration, and auxiliary device operation. Essential routine readings include Magnetic Oil Gauge (MOG), oil leaks check from any part of the transformer, Silica Gel color in the breather, etc.
Why Transformer Inspection is so critical: Poor maintenance can cause physical or structural damage. Fires can pose serious risks, and accidents can disrupt operations and impact health, safety, and the environment. Inspections help ensure Transformers are in top condition all the time.
