Energy Substations maintenance up to 44KV
Preventive maintenance in a substation is done with the objective of detecting failures that may affect its proper functioning since a substation is a fundamental part of an industry and a stoppage in production can generate high financial losses.
Maintenance in an electrical substation consists of:
• Physical review of the structures and each of the components that make it up.
• General cleaning.
• Lubrication of mechanical components.
• Adjustment of connections.
• Mechanical, electrical and dielectric tests.
Transformers Electrical Tests on-site and in our facility
Rymel currently has a wide portfolio of electrical tests to offer our clients the best advice and diagnosis of their equipment. The electrical tests performed are described below.
- Transformation ratio
• Insulation resistance - Winding resistance
• Vacuum test - Short circuit test
- Applied voltage test
- Induced voltage test
• Impulse test
• Partial discharge test - Frequency response analysis FRA
• Test of power factor
Mineral and Vegetable dielectric oil Physicochemical analysis
As we well know, the dielectric oil is a fundamental part of the useful life of the transformer, therefore, it is of great importance to know its condition and thus anticipate a possible failure in the future, therefore, Rymel offers the following services of diagnosis for dielectric oil:
- Dielectric breakdown voltage (ASTM D877).
• Neutralization number (ASTM D974).
• Interfacial tension (ASTM D2285).
• Color (ASTM D1500).
• Relative density (ASTM D1298).
• Moisture in PPM (ASTM D1533).
• Quality index
Thermography service
Thermography is a technique with which temperature measurements can be made without contact and at a distance, and at the same time, it allows for visualizing images, which are formed by the source of infrared radiation.
Applications of thermography in industrial preventive maintenance, this technique is applicable for:
• High and low voltage lines.
• Control and power cabinets.
• Electrical splices, hot spots.
• Distribution and power transformers.
• Electric motors
