Real‑Time Insights That Reduced the Risk of Catastrophic Transformer Failure
A large 300 MVA transformer began showing signs of stress, and TOTUS quickly identified the real issue. It detected multiple high‑energy electrical discharge events along with persistent partial discharge activity, revealing a developing problem inside the transformer long before it became visible. Discover how these insights enabled timely action that reduced the risk of catastrophic failure.
Challenge
