⚡Transformer & Switchgear Service – Preventative Maintenance Completed⚡
The Filteg Power Industries team recently carried out a comprehensive transformer and switchgear service to ensure the continued reliability, safety, and performance of the client’s electrical infrastructure.
Scope of work included:
🔹 Cleaning of the transformer and switchgear equipment
🔹 Replacement of silica gel in the transformer breather
🔹 Re-torqueing of all electrical connections
🔹 Re-taping and refurbishment of cable terminations and connections
🔹 Transformer oil purification using our mobile oil purification plant
🔹 Complete switchgear service and inspection
🔹 Primary injection testing of protection systems
🔹 Service and functional testing of the Battery Tripping Unit (BTU)
🔹 Replacement of a severely corroded transformer lug
🔹 Replacement of BTU batteries due to heavily corroded battery terminals
During the maintenance process, our technicians identified corrosion-related issues on both the transformer and BTU system. These components were replaced to ensure reliable operation and maintain the integrity of the protection system.
Routine maintenance, testing, and oil treatment play a critical role in extending equipment life, improving protection system performance, and reducing the risk of unexpected outages.
At Filteg Power Industries, we are committed to keeping critical power infrastructure operating safely, efficiently, and reliably through professional maintenance and testing services. ⚙️🔌
