Transformers

Transformers are used for electrical power transmission from one circuit to another through a magnetically coupled circuit. Despite the static operation trait, certain problems like short-circuits between spirals and a high level of partial discharges are often observed.

MI Electric Brasil relies on complete instrumentation for testing and validation of proper functioning of the transformer under maintenance.

» Oil and dry transformers;
» Internal and external cleaning;
» Transformer switchgear inspection;
» Power and control cables tightening inspection;
» Grounding connections inspection, internal and external;
» Fan function verification;
» Transformer cooling system verification;
» Electrical testing:

› Full isolation measurement (Megger);
