The Dynamic Duo
Ultrasound & Infrared Team Up to Prevent Transformer Outages
by Allan Rienstra

Processing steel requires big energy and heavy duty electrical systems. But just one electrical component failure can grind steel production to a halt, costing manufacturers huge losses in time and money. The more severe the failure, the longer it takes for systems to be restored. Maintenance crews rely on condition monitoring technologies like ultrasound inspection and infrared imaging to predict electrical component failures in all systems including substations, MCC gear, transformers, and the like.
