Strategies for Accurate Vibro-Acoustic Monitoring of OLTCs

Vibro-acoustic diagnostics have emerged as a rapid and non-invasive method to monitor and assess the health of On Load Tap Changers (OLTCs) in electrical power systems. This technology detects and analyzes the vibrations and sound patterns generated by OLTCs during operation, helping to identify...

Thermography 101

Thermography used to be expensive, difficult, and primarily used by large industrial facilities and the military. These days, it has become much more affordable, easier to use, and more broadly applied. A thermal imager works by producing thermal (heat) pictures of the equipment. Electrical...

Understanding the DC Overpotential Test

The 411 on DC testing of low-voltage circuit breakers BY JIM WHITE, Shermco Industries, Inc. The direct current (DC) overpotential test is one of the basic tests conducted to ensure an insulation system has adequate insulation life to make it to the next scheduled maintenance interval. While not...

Thermography Best Practices

Providing continuous electrical high quality power is an ongoing challenge. Many industries must have continuous, uninterrupted quality power to ensure production levels are maintained and the integrity of their computer systems are at their peak levels. Furthermore, many buildings such as hospitals must have continuous, reliable power to ensure life-critical devices are running in operating and intensive care rooms. This formidable task can be partially achieved with proper maintenance practices.

There are many maintenance tools,...
