MITIGATING TRANSFORMER FAILURES: ADVANCED MONITORING AND MAINTENANCE STRATEGIES
Power transformers are critical assets in electrical transmission and distribution networks. Their failure can lead to widespread outages, costly downtime, and potential safety hazards. As transformers age and operate under varying electrical and environmental stresses, degradation becomes inevitable. However, through advanced monitoring techniques like Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) and Frequency Response Analysis (FRA), utilities can proactively identify early signs of failure, enabling preventive maintenance and extending transformer service life.
