Consulting, site testing and transformer supply

TransVolt is run by a chartered transformer engineer, so the same person who writes your specification can witness the factory tests, test the unit on site and interpret the results.

Independent transformer advice

For owners, developers, ICPs and contractors who need an expert view on a transformer without the overhead of a large consultancy.

  1. Purchasing technical specifications

    Ratings, impedance, losses, cooling, tap changer, protection and testing requirements written to IEC 60076 and your network's standards, ready to go to tender.

  2. Design review and witnessing tests

    Review of the manufacturer's design and drawings, then witnessing of routine, type and special tests at the works so you sign off with confidence.

  3. Condition assessments

    Review of oil analysis, test history and loading to rank your fleet and recommend maintenance, refurbishment or replacement.

  4. Technical diagnostics

    Interpretation of dissolved gas analysis, SFRA, dielectric response and PD results, with clear recommendations.

  5. Failure investigation and specialist opinion

    Root-cause investigation of trips and failures, including off-site inspection of the active part, expert reports, grid type-registration support and advice during commercial disputes. See a recent investigation.

Diagnostic testing on your site

Routine and investigative electrical tests on transformers in service, from distribution units to generator transformers, with a written report and recommendations.

  • Insulation resistance and polarisation index
  • Winding resistance across all tap positions
  • Turns ratio and vector group verification
  • Sweep frequency response analysis (SFRA)
  • Dissipation factor and capacitance of windings and bushings
  • Tap changer inspection and dynamic resistance measurement
  • Oil sampling for DGA, moisture, breakdown voltage and furans
  • Daylight UV corona inspection with OFIL DayCor

Testing can be combined with GlobeCore oil processing on site, so a wet or gassing transformer is dried and degassed in the same outage.
