Never assume a new bushing is an acceptable bushing…
Pre-installation testing can identify:
• Elevated power factor / dielectric losses
• Capacitance abnormalities or mismatches between phases
• Shipping or handling damage
• Manufacturing defects before they become field failures
A few minutes of testing prior to installing and vacuum filling can save a lot of headaches!
If you’re planning a transformer installation or bushing replacement, contact MVA to learn how our transformer testing and electrical diagnostic services can help identify issues before they become costly failures.
