Buchholz trips after the formation of significant amount of gases. Which means failure has already been developed dramatically. In contrast M&D equipment gives you a very handy solution that keeps you updated in real time, or immediately in case of DGA on-site through Transport-X. These methods secure assets from catastrophe.

Transformers being the heart of power systems is vital for operation. Therefore a single catastrophe can result in to many damages which may include but not limited to; physical injury to asset and personnel, public image spoiling and ultimately unplanned power outages.

Even if we consider that manual sample has been taken with best possible odds i.e. sample integrity has been maintained during sample taking and shipping and the lab personnel has performed without human error even then this is not the best possible solution because a failure can occur within few day, weeks or even hours.

As the fleet gets old so do the chance of incipient faults. A simple bathtop curve illustrates this phenomenon. Also there are empirical evidences of this fact.

You start getting payback depending on your chosen M&D solution application. In case you install a real time system you get payback immediately in the form of maintenance cost which is less as compared to conventional schemes. If your asset is insured that is another spot of payback. For detail and customized M&D solution contact EPESOL for Design and Consultancy Services.
