On-site Tests and Inspections
In assessing or diagnosing the condition of particular stationary electrical assets it is important to gather objective quality data. It is essential that this data can be transformed into valuable knowledge that will aid in the determination of the assets overall condition.
This data can be acquired in various ways, ranging from on-line monitoring devices to testing and inspections performed in the field.
The quality and accuracy of the diagnosis is only as good as the quality and accuracy of the incoming data. Reliable, repetitive and reproducible tests are necessary to consistently judge and establish the condition, and most importantly, the trending behaviour of that condition throughout the life of the asset.
TxMonitor® work with data coming from diverse third party sources, however, we also offer field testing and inspection services. These services are performed with the appropriate equipment, by competent trained personnel to ensure testing meets the “three R’s” criteria:
- Reliable
- Repetitive
- Reproducible
TxMonitor®'s testing and inspection capabilities include but are not limited to the following:
- Turns ratio and polarity
- Insulation Resistance
- Insulation Power Factor (Tan-Delta)
- Winding Resistance
- Excitation Currant
- Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA)
- In-situ Oil Sampling and instant Dissolved Gas Analysis, Break-down strength and Power Factor
- Online and Offline PD Testing
- Very Low Frequency Test (VLF)
