Failure Analysis

Understanding the root cause of a transformer failure is essential to prevent it from happening again, minimise downtime and protect critical assets.

Our failure analysis service provides an independent, in-depth technical assessment of power, distribution and special transformers, helping asset owners, operators and insurers make informed decisions.

Our approach

  1. Data collection and preliminary assessmentReview of technical documentation, operating conditions, maintenance records and alarm and failure history.
  2. Visual inspection and advanced diagnosticsDetailed inspection of internal and external components to detect thermal degradation, electrical faults and mechanical damage.
  3. Laboratory analysisInsulating oil analysis (DGA, moisture content, dielectric strength), solid insulation evaluation and component testing.
  4. Root cause identificationAccurate determination of the primary failure mechanism: design or manufacturing defects, electrical stress, overheating, contamination or operational issues.
  5. Technical reportFindings and supporting evidence, root cause analysis and practical recommendations.

What you gain

With decades of experience in transformer technology, we help you:

  • Reduce the risk of recurring failures
  • Decide between repair, replacement or refurbishment
  • Improve preventive and predictive maintenance
  • Support insurance claims and dispute resolution

Our goal is not only to establish what happened, but to give you clear, actionable insight so it does not happen again.
