Testing a power transformer involves a combination of electrical, mechanical, and insulation diagnostics. Typical tests include winding resistance, turns ratio (TTR), insulation resistance (IR/PI), dielectric power factor (tan-delta), FRA/SFRA for core and winding displacement, leakage impedance, partial discharge assessment, and OLTC functional tests. Oil-filled units also undergo dissolved gas analysis (DGA), moisture measurements, and thermographic inspections. These tests evaluate insulation integrity, mechanical stability, core losses, and operational readiness before commissioning or after abnormal events.
Natalie DupontMemberSmaller and dry-type units are available via industrial e-commerce, distributors, and OEM portals; large HV/MV units require RFQ/tender exchanges rather than direct checkout.
January 24, 2026 at 8:44 am in reply to: What tests are conducted during testing of a power transformer? #331625Natalie DupontMemberRoutine: ratio, resistance, IR, tan-delta, vector group, impedance, heat run; Type: impulse; Special: PD, FRA, sound level.
January 24, 2026 at 6:10 am in reply to: What properties must power transformer oil have for insulation and cooling? #331605Natalie DupontMemberRequired properties include high breakdown voltage, low tan-delta, low viscosity, high flash/fire points, and oxidation resistance.
Natalie DupontMemberBuilt on a trailer chassis with hose drums fitted with electric reel drives, the CMM-G is fully mobile and suitable for deployment across a wind farm. The unit can be powered by an onboard generator when grid connection is unavailable, allowing service crews to reach turbines in remote locations without external power.
January 21, 2026 at 10:29 pm in reply to: Why are iron core power transformers used in low frequency applications? #331064Natalie DupontMemberIron core transformers use laminated silicon steel cores that have low losses at power frequencies such as 50 or 60 Hz. The high permeability of iron concentrates the magnetic flux, allowing efficient energy transfer with reasonable core size at low frequency. Ferrites and air cores are less efficient at these low frequencies for power levels typical of mains equipment. Laminations help reduce eddy currents, and core designs are optimized to balance no load losses, copper losses and cost for low frequency power applications.
January 21, 2026 at 8:20 pm in reply to: How does the US-6S control cabinet interface with the drying process? #331032Natalie DupontMemberThe control cabinet allows operators to monitor and adjust key process parameters like vacuum level, temperature, and timer settings. It integrates control of pneumatic drives, heating systems, vacuum pumps, and safety interlocks. In automated configurations, it can store drying profiles and reduce human error by managing sequences based on predefined criteria.
January 21, 2026 at 6:47 pm in reply to: How is power transformer sizing performed for industrial loads? #331010Natalie DupontMemberIndustrial sizing accounts for motor inrush, harmonic loads, and duty cycles; cooling and PF correction may be required.
January 21, 2026 at 7:58 am in reply to: Why do power transformers require special power cables? #330832Natalie DupontMemberHV transformers require cables rated for insulation level, fault current, temperature rise, and bending radius. Improper cable selection risks partial discharge, overheating, and failure.
January 21, 2026 at 6:36 am in reply to: Does GlobeCore have experience in treating water containing hydrocarbons? Do you provide assistance in selecting chemical reagents? #330812Natalie DupontMemberYes – GlobeCore does have experience with treating water that contains hydrocarbons, and they supply technologies and engineering support in that area. For example, GlobeCore’s electromagnetic vortex layer devices (AVS) and wastewater treatment complexes have been reported in published case studies and press articles for decontaminating oily wastewater and treating petroleum-contaminated water, including applications on ships and industrial effluents.
January 21, 2026 at 4:49 am in reply to: What is the maximum capacity of GlobeCore colloid mills? #330787Natalie DupontMemberGlobeCore offers a range of colloid mills with different capacities depending on the model and application. Their throughput varies from small laboratory units to industrial-scale machines: smaller colloid mills for lab or low-volume work might handle about 0.1-1 m³/h, mid-range models like the CLM-2/4 can process around 2-4 m³/h, larger industrial units such as the CLM-8/16 have capacities of 8-16 m³/h, some high-throughput models, like the CLM-18, are rated up to about 18 m³/h. So the approximate maximum capacity in GlobeCore’s standard portfolio is on the order of ~18 m³ per hour for a single mill in continuous operation, with larger or customized systems possible depending on specific requirements.
January 20, 2026 at 11:15 pm in reply to: How is a transformer in a power plant maintained for continuous operation? #330708Natalie DupontMemberGenerator step-up transformers in power plants are monitored via online DGA, fiber-optic hot-spot sensors, and thermal models. Scheduled outages allow oil processing, bushing replacement, cooling system servicing, and OLTC overhaul.
January 20, 2026 at 8:05 pm in reply to: How is testing a power transformer performed in field conditions? #330662Natalie DupontMemberField tests include IR scans, oil DGA, PD detection, and relay testing, with results compared to factory baselines.
January 20, 2026 at 2:12 pm in reply to: How can I determine when my transformer needs equipment such as online monitoring system TOR-5? #330578Natalie DupontMemberA practical way to decide this is to look at both risk level and information gaps rather than age alone. If the transformer is critical for your process, operates near its thermal limits, or has a history of elevated moisture, rising hydrogen, or unstable DGA trends, online monitoring becomes justified. Another strong indicator is when you rely only on infrequent laboratory tests and lack trend data between samplings. TOR-5 is most useful when early detection of slow-developing defects can prevent unplanned outages or costly emergency drying.
January 19, 2026 at 9:53 pm in reply to: What is listed in a power transformer catalogue PDF? #330412Natalie DupontMemberCatalogues list product ranges, ratings, voltages, cooling types, standards, tap options, accessories, monitoring modules, dimensional data and service support. They guide selection for engineering projects.
