THE WHAT

Data from insulating oil tests is a great asset management tool for expensive power assets. Condition-based testing of insulating oil can be used to correlate transformer gassing and allows differentiation of developing problems such as overheating of paper, oil, partial discharge activity, and arching.

THE WHY

Reliable energy flow is essential for any facility big or small, making the transformer one the most important asset, and the largest investment. Additionally, transformer installation in some facilities are operating beyond their designed operational life, and sometimes with higher than average loading. Thereby making condition-based transformer assessment and asset health analysis a top priority.

THE HOW

Staffed with a resident chemist and supported by licensed Electrical Engineers, the WESTCO Oil Laboratory can provide answers based on quality data from a complete arsenal of testing equipment and extensive experience in power asset diagnostics. All our reports include analysis of data, electrical interpretation based on chemical results, and recommendations for action.
