Transformers

Bureau Veritas provides transformer oil analysis to power generating companies enabling them to monitor the health of their transformers. In order to assist our clients to take early remedial action before possibly dangerous and costly unit failure occurs, our laboratories provide transformer oil analysis to determine: functional parameters, stability characteristics, insulation performance, and health, safety and environmental concerns.

Transformer oils require a specific range of testing to determine the electrical insulation properties of the fluid. The early identification of a potentially dangerous transformer status will reduce the risk of costly transformer failure. Bureau Veritas' developed expertise on the transformer specific operating challenges is helping our clients with the independent assessment of transformer oil quality for new and used oils.

Combining information on the chemical composition of the fluid and the insulating properties can provide a lot of insight into the condition of the oil and the potential risks on operations. The accurate timing of the replacement or regeneration of the oil can overcome maintenance costs and assure the maximum utilization of the plant.
