Prevent Transformer Shutdown

Power transformers seldom shutdown; however, if a shutdown occurs, the effects would be immediate and devastating to utility operations. According to “An Analysis of Transformer Failures” by William H. Bartley, P.E., on behalf of the Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company, the...

Advancements in Dissolved Gas Analysis: NEI & Gassing Events

One of the most important steps when looking at DGA data is to decide whether the data support the existence of a fault that is actively breaking down the insulation before you try to use a triangle, pentagon, or gas ratio method to identify a fault type. Otherwise, you are diagnosing random...

The Role of AI and Machine Learning in Predicting Transformer Faults

AI and Machine Learning can predict transformer faults by analyzing dissolved gas data, thermal patterns, and vibration trends to identify insulation degradation, detect anomalies, and prevent costly power transformer failures before they occur.

Why AI Integration into Transformer Diagnostics Matters

Applies machine learning to transformer data for predictive fault detection.
Analyzes DGA, temperature, and vibration trends for early anomaly alerts.
Enhances reliability through automated, data-driven maintenance decisions.

The Shift Toward Predictive Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI)...
