Customer SAVE
REAL Services' customers are engaged in producing
manufacturing power, distribution, instrument, and specialty
transformers.
REAL Services' LTC3 pioneered a Revolutionary
and truly Predictive /
Proactive testing methods and data interpretation for determining the operational
heath and integrity of Electrical Transmission & Distribution
Equipment. Rather than simply testing Insulating Oil Condition;
NOW Transformers, Load Tap Changers (LTC),
Oil Filled Circuit Breakers (OCB),
Voltage Regulators and other T&D Equipment Condition & Reliability
can be monitored, trended and quantified.; provided by
REAL Services
along with our exclusive
SAVE REPORT which provided Return On
Investment and Cost Justification or your
T&D PM Program. |

Electrical Transmission & Distribution |
Case Study # 83 |
These results are obtained, by
REAL Services' LTC3 patented testing procedure, from a first time sample.
550CS Load Tap Changer Filter; MG550CS-LTC-FM; is one of the single
most active LTC in this western metropolitan area.
Recommendation:
Consider schedule this unit for maintenance action. Specifically,
CHECK spring tension for excessive pressure on contacts. FILTER
lubricant to remove Filming &
Coking compounds. |
|
|
|
Tank #2 Visual inspection of
contacts after 12,434 operations,
notice the contact erosion from dirty fluid. Notice the
discoloration of the contacts, “Filming” is a by-product of the
polymerization of insulating oil. This Filming compounds shows
Carbon residue (Coking) embedded in the matrix of the Filming
compound. Note: This was a FIRST time this equipment has been
tested. |
|
|
|
Upon opening of 550CS Load Tap Changer; MG550CS-LTC-FM, contacts show
a high concetration of Filming compounds. Equipment show signs
of Coking and indications of burning of insulating fluid. Both
the Filming compounds and Coking inhibit proper electrical conduction
and typically increases power levels.
Secondary Damage, Property Damage and Service
Interruption was avoided. Downtime was minimized.
Maintenance scheduled performed and service routed through secondary
unit.
LTC3
