Ultrasound Prevents Transformer Outages
Steel processing requires a lot of energy and powerful electrical systems. However, a single electrical component failure can bring steel production to a halt, resulting in significant time and financial losses for manufacturers.
The more severe the failure, the longer it takes to restore systems. To predict electrical component failures in all systems, including substations, MCC gear, transformers, etc.; maintenance teams use condition monitoring technologies like ultrasound inspection.
The earlier an issue is identified, the more time there is to schedule maintenance. Because it is significantly less expensive and a far better alternative for everyone, electrical repair technicians prefer to do repairs on their own terms rather than on the terms of the machine. Early detection of a system’s need for attention also ensures that the required maintenance is “simple maintenance,” rather than a costly overhaul, entire repair, and/or replacement. Simple maintenance refers to routine cleaning, dusting, and minor component replacement with readily available spare parts.
