A rising number of transformers are overworked and operating under extreme duress, high stress, or deteriorating conditions, leaving these high-voltage assets at risk of failure. With the increased safety hazards and financial impact from losing just a single transformer, refiners struggle to keep these units operating reliably in their facilities.
Hear MISTRAS’ prominent transformer reliability experts explain how to:
- Utilize non-destructive testing (NDT) remote monitoring technologies
- Detect faults earlier than traditional methods
- Prevent the loss of revenue and negative profit impact
- Extend asset lifecycles and lower operating risks
This on-demand web event is a valuable resource for reliability, asset management, and electrical maintenance engineers responsible for the operational safety and maintenance of transformers in their facilities.
