Your transformer helps transmit and regulate electric energy and voltage between two different circuits, but when it stops working properly, it can cause many issues, ranging from power disruptions to extreme safety hazards. That’s why it’s important to have your transformer tested regularly, even when there isn’t a noticeable issue.
Here are a few ways transformer testing can help maintain safety.
- Reduce Fire Hazards: One part of transformer testing involves testing the insulation resistance. The insulation should be sufficient to protect the transformer and its components from high-voltage surges that could potentially cause heating issues within the transformer and the electrical circuit in your property. By testing the insulation and insulation resistance, we can reduce the fire hazard that could be caused otherwise.
- Reduce High-Voltage Hazards: When a transformer stops functioning correctly, there is no real control over the voltage between circuits, which can often result in high-voltage concerns, including electrical shocks, power outages, and inoperable electrical components. With transformer testing, we can identify and resolve any issues within the transformer that could potentially cause voltage issues before they can become a major concern.
- Maintain Efficiency and Reliability: By testing all the different components of your transformer, we can help you maintain the efficiency and reliability of your transformer without any concerns of safety hazards, issues, faulty electrical systems, or otherwise.
We pay close attention to detail as we perform our transformer testing and can provide the exact tests you need according to your specific transformer and other electrical components. Please don’t hesitate to give us a call if you would like to learn more.
