PROJECT DETAILS
- Research Name Nanostructured Materials
- Client Leading Power Distribution Utility
- Category Dissolved Gas Analysis
- Delivery Mode Stipulated Price
- Location India
Challenge & Solution:
Routine maintenance showed no external issues, but the client requested DGA testing as part of their predictive maintenance strategy.
Findings:
Elevated levels of ethylene (C₂H₄) and acetylene (C₂H₂), Thermal fault suspected (hot spot in windings)
Action Taken:
Client de-energized the transformer for infrared thermography and inspection, revealing insulation damage due to overheating.
Outcome:
Timely intervention prevented a major failure. The transformer was repaired and safely returned to service.
