Oil and nitrogen leaks are a nagging problem found with many power transformers. Due to extreme operating and environmental conditions, leaks do occur at gaskets, fittings, welds and points of physical damage.
Most leaks are repairable, and Industrial Tests has the ability to find leaks and make repairs. Some of our resources include experienced personnel; equipment necessary to handle, store oil and vacuum-fill; specialized processes / procedures for all kinds of transformer repairs.
Transformer oil leaks can be a very costly problem to repair, especially when the leaking oil is able to escape into ground water. Leakages that occur above the transformer oil can allow nitrogen to escape, which causes more frequent nitrogen bottle replacement. More important, moisture and oxygen can enter a transformer through a leaking gasket which causes accelerated aging of the insulation and insulation failure.
Let PowerConsultancy solve these leakage problems by putting new gaskets on all transformer openings or reprocessing the oil to ensure that the transformer is in working condition.
