Simcoa Operations is an Australian-based company committed to producing the world's highest quality silicon that is used in many of the products that make our modern lives easier. The company’s manufacturing facility gets its power from the Australian grid through two power transformers (rated at 132/22/11 kV).
How serious is the problem?
Simcoa Operations sought the expertise of the local ABB Transformer Service team in Australia to perform an internal inspection for one of their power transformers that handles 50% of the facility’s production capacity. Their concern was traces of gas observed in the unit’s oil, indicating that something was zlety.
