Failure Analysis
Understanding the root cause of a transformer failure is essential to prevent recurrence, minimize downtime, and protect critical assets.
Our Failure Analysis service provides an independent and in-depth technical assessment of power, distribution, and special transformers, supporting asset owners, operators, and insurers in making informed decisions.
We follow a structured and proven approach:
- Data Collection & Preliminary Assessment: Review of technical documentation, operating conditions, maintenance records, and failure history.
- Visual Inspection & Advanced Diagnostics: Detailed inspection of internal and external components to detect: Thermal degradation, Electrical faults, Mechanical damage
- Laboratory Analysis: Comprehensive testing including: Insulating oil analysis (DGA, moisture content, dielectric strength), Solid insulation evaluation, Component testing
- Root Cause Identification: Accurate determination of the primary failure mechanism, such as: Design or manufacturing defects, Electrical stresses, Overheating, Contamination, Operational issues.
- Technical Reporting: Delivery of a detailed report including findings and supporting evidence, root cause analysis, practical recommendations
With decades of experience in transformer technology, we help our clients:
- Reduce the risk of recurring failures
- Optimize decisions on repair, replacement, or refurbishment
- Improve preventive and predictive maintenance strategies
- Support technical evaluations for insurance claims and dispute resolution
Our goal is not only to determine what happened, but to provide clear, actionable insights to ensure it does not happen again.
