Measurments at energized equipment

Type of diagnostics Purpose Measuring equipment  

Measurement of AC dielectric characteristics

Assessment of insulation state; timely detection of local defects in insulation; forecasting of operaton life and load capacity of transformers

Cutler-Hammer  
Estimation of radiated thermal energy, defect revealing according to variation of temperature field and disturbances of thermal balance.

Identification of a number of defects: local heating of structural elements, presence of oil stagnation zones, inefficient operatipon of cooling system, deterioration of contact joints condition, occurence of shorted circuits, deterioration of HV bushing insulation and current transformers, etc.
