Tony McGrail ; Doble Engineering Company

Abstract

Outage planning is a critical consideration companies cannot spare to neglect. Identifying which assets need attention and by taking preventative measures to monitor the condition of your key assets, teams can proactively plan for maintenance work and have insights into critical problem areas before they cause system failure. This article will review partial discharge/electromagnetic interference in-service surveys, how to identify risks to your assets (like transformers) and share best practices to plan for your outages, ensuring both your asset’s longevity and network health.
