Transformer Breakdown – Fault Finding and Rectification

SCOPE / SERVICES PROVIDED

The Transformer Breakdown – Fault Finding and Rectification project, undertaken for a confidential client, involved comprehensive diagnostic and rectification services. Our scope of work included:

• Fault finding and rectification of transformer breakdown.
• Full transformer refurbishment, encompassing:
  • Oil polishing.
  • Winding carbon dust cleaning.
  • Tap changer servicing.
  • Comprehensive testing at all stages.

PROJECT EXECUTION

SIGMA’s team efficiently executed the project by identifying and rectifying transformer faults to restore functionality. The team conducted a complete refurbishment and servicing process to ensure long-term reliability, performing rigorous testing during and after rectification to meet safety and operational standards. Close collaboration with plant authorities facilitated the smooth execution of the project while maintaining strict compliance with industry regulations.

CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS

The project presented several challenges, including the critical nature of the transformer requiring urgent restoration within a tight deadline, the handling of heavy testing equipment for oil polishing and tap changer servicing, and securing authorisation to work inside a gas plant while meeting stringent safety standards. These challenges were overcome by mobilising an experienced team to expedite fault diagnosis, utilising specialised handling equipment to ensure safe operations, and working closely with plant authorities to secure necessary approvals while implementing advanced safety measures.

OUTCOMES

The successful completion of the transformer breakdown rectification project highlighted SIGMA’s ability to address critical breakdowns under tight deadlines. SIGMA’s involvement resulted in minimised downtime, improved fault diagnosis accuracy, and enhanced compliance with plant safety standards. The structured approach reinforced the client’s confidence in SIGMA’s expertise in managing complex transformer refurbishment projects.
