Transformer Fluid Analysis
Transformer Oil Testing for Predictive Maintenance
Transformer fluid performs critical cooling, insulating and protective functions. Over time, thermal, electrical and chemical stresses can degrade the fluid and provide evidence of developing transformer problems. PSS transformer fluid analysis helps customers evaluate oil condition and identify potential issues before they escalate into costly failures.
Testing Can Include
- Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA)
- Moisture content
- Acidity
- Dielectric breakdown voltage
- Interfacial tension
- Power factor
- Furan analysis
- PCB analysis
- Metals-in-oil
- Particle count
Why Fluid Analysis Matters
Predictive Maintenance
Fluid analysis gives maintenance teams condition data that can be trended over time and used to prioritize inspection, repair, reclamation or replacement decisions.
Early Detection
Testing can identify signs of contamination, deterioration, overheating or electrical activity before a condition becomes a larger operational problem.
Safety & Reliability
Maintaining proper insulating-fluid properties supports safe and reliable transformer operation.
