Transformer Substation Services
Overview
Today’s demands on power substations are greater than

ever
before, challenging operators to maintain a

continuous, reliable
power supply and reduce costs. A rigorous, proactive

maintenance
program is the key to minimizing transformer failures
and unplanned outages.
GE Energy’s experienced
transformer services team
can help you develop and
implement an effective transformer
maintenance plan while
making the most efficient use
of your budget. Whether you
need a day of service on a single
unit, or comprehensive plan for
your entire transformer network,
GE Energy can:
? Evaluate the condition of your equipment and status

of existing
maintenance programs
? Structure a maintenance plan to balance your needs

with
your budget
? Plan the required services according to your

schedule
? Perform the required work – on time, on budget
With decades of experience servicing transformers at

customer
sites, GE Energy has the resources to meet your

substation needs.
Dielectric Fluid Services
Annual dielectric fluid analysis is the single most

important element
of an effective transformer maintenance plan. Routine

testing
and appropriate corrective treatments minimize the

damage
to internal components, reduce the risk of an

unplanned outage,
and dramatically increase the life expectancy of the

unit. Test
results can also be used to assess the mechanical

condition of the
transformer and indicate specific repairs which may be

required.
GE Energy offers comprehensive dielectric fluid

services to detect
fluid degradation in its early stages and provide

customized preventive
maintenance solutions, including:
? Oil sample collection and laboratory testing
? Dehydration services - on energized or de-energized
equipment
— Standard multi-pass dehydration
— Vacuum dehydration with cryogenic pump (cold trap)
moisture collection services
— In-shop “oven bake” and vacuum chamber

dehydration
? Degasification services
? Complete reclamation of fluid, including flushing
of the core and coil
? Special fluids services
— Silicone
— RTemp
— FR3
Fluid services projects can be managed by GE, or you

can lease
our crews and equipment for in-house project

management.
Mechanical Services
Our experienced technicians can also assist with

mechanical
maintenance requirements, including:
? Installation, assembly and fill of new transformers
? Complete repairs
— Bushing replacements
— Regasketing
? Exterior restoration
Load Tap Changer (LTC) Maintenance
For units with LTCs, the LTC is a key component and,

without
proper maintenance, can be a leading cause of failure.

GE Energy
can evaluate the condition of your LTC by sampling oil

from the
energized transformer. Test results indicate what type

of maintenance
needs to be performed offline, minimizing down-time.
Our services include:
? Complete internal inspection and contact or

interrupter
replacement
? Maintenance to original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
specifications
? Rebuild and repair
? Validation of alarms and protective devices
? Upgrade obsolete electro-mechanical controls with

modern
solid state controls
? Long-term maintenance programs to maximize the

reliability
of your LTC
