EXTEND YOUR TRANSFORMER LIFE
OPT FOR FULL REFURBISHMENT
WHY TO BUY A NEW ONE…
When the end-of-life period is approaching for your transformer, the traditional option is to replace it with a new product.
Likewise with the aged transformers there is a high potential for the failure rate of transformers to increase and also create an increased demand for replacement of the aged transformers.
But alternately, there is an option for complete refurbishment of your aged transformer which is cost effective by 30%-50% depending on the configuration of your transformer versus to a new transformer. The lead time also could be reduced to almost 50%.
Taking into account:
- At times the modernization of the infrastructure which can no longer support the transportation of large power transformer, the refurbishment at site is an alternative to the new transformer.
- Also there is a high potential risk of the transformer being damaged during the transportation from factory to the site, the refurbishment at site is an alternative to the new transformer.
