Erection, Testing & Commissioning
Proper field installation is critical to guaranteed long-term electrical asset performance. Federal Power Transformers supplies senior installation engineers and certified field technicians to execute complete onsite assembly, high-vacuum treatment, pre-commissioning testing, and energization.
Every field commission includes complete routine and diagnostic electrical testing using calibrated test equipment to verify mechanical alignment, core integrity, and insulation system dry-out prior to grid synchronization.
- Mechanical assembly of main tank, radiators, conservator, and bushings
- High-vacuum oil filling and prolonged oil recirculation onsite
- Sweep Frequency Response Analysis (SFRA) and Dielectric Frequency Response (DFRA)
- Dynamic current measurement of On-Load Tap Changers (OLTC)
- Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) testing and secondary injection commissioning
Lifetime Assessment & Health Checks
The operational lifespan of an oil-filled power transformer depends directly on the structural health of its solid cellulosic paper insulation and dielectric liquid under historical thermal, electromagnetic, and electro-dynamic stresses.
Our comprehensive health audit combines electrical field diagnostics with chemical oil analysis to calculate residual life expectancy, identify incipient mechanical displacement, and establish optimized capital expenditure plans.
- Winding insulation Tan Delta and capacitance measurement
- High-voltage winding resistance and turns ratio (TTR) validation
- Paper degradation analysis via Degree of Polymerization (DP) & Furan profiling
- Functional verification of mechanical safety devices (Buchholz, PRV, MOLG)
Oil Filtration & Vacuum Processing
Dielectric insulating oil acts as both insulating medium and heat-transfer coolant inside transformers. Contamination by dissolved moisture, micro-particles, acidic oxidation byproducts, and dissolved gases drastically reduces dielectric strength and accelerates solid paper insulation aging.
We deploy mobile multi-stage high-vacuum oil treatment plants (capacities up to 10,000 LPH) to execute online or offline degassing, de-moisturizing, and particulate filtration across transformer installations rated up to 400kV class.
- Onsite high-vacuum oil purification, degassing, and dehydration
- Breakdown Voltage (BDV) testing in strict compliance with ASTM D877 / D1816
- Moisture content determination via Karl Fischer titration (ASTM D1533)
- Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) via Gas Chromatography (IEC 60599 / IEEE C57.104)
- Interfacial Tension (IFT), neutralization value, and corrosive sulfur testing
Overhaul & Comprehensive Repair
From minor gasket leaks to major active part overhauls, Federal Power Transformers provides complete refurbishment services for transformers up to 100 MVA, 132kV class. Repairs are performed either on site or within our dust-free, climate-controlled Abu Dhabi manufacturing center.
Our workshop is equipped with industrial overhead cranes, controlled vacuum drying ovens, core lifting apparatus, and automated testing bays to restore aged or damaged equipment to original OEM performance standards.
- Active part un-tanking, core tightening, and vacuum oven re-drying
- Complete gasket, seal, and defective valve replacement for leak elimination
- On-Load Tap Changer (OLTC) selector and diverter switch overhaul
- Radiator bank cleaning, pressure testing, and anti-corrosion re-painting
Partial Discharge (PD) Analysis
Partial discharge activity is the single early indicator of localized insulation breakdown in high-voltage transformer windings, bushings, and cable terminations. Left unchecked, PD activity leads directly to catastrophic insulation puncture and explosive transformer failure.
Our high-voltage diagnostic team employs non-invasive Transient Earth Voltage (TEV), Ultra-High Frequency (UHF), and Acoustic Detection sensors to localize electrical discharge points under full operating conditions without disrupting power delivery.
- Non-intrusive online PD detection under normal load conditions
- Accurate fault localization using combined UHF and acoustic triangulation
- Phase-Resolved Partial Discharge (PRPD) pattern recognition
- Clear risk classification and corrective maintenance recommendations
Rewinding & Re-Engineering
When transformer windings fail due to external short-circuit forces or thermal overload, complete replacement or re-engineering provides a cost-effective alternative to purchasing new capital equipment. We rewind transformers across all global OEM brands to exact original specifications or enhanced thermal ratings.
Using 3D computer design tools, high-grade electrolytic copper, and modernized insulation materials, our design team can re-engineer existing units for higher power MVA throughput or altered voltage ratio requirements.

Thermographic Infrared Inspection
Abnormal localized heating caused by loose electrical connections, unbalanced phase loading, or restricted radiator oil flow is a primary root cause of electrical power failures. Infrared Thermography allows non-destructive thermal scanning of operational transformers under live load.
Using high-resolution thermal imagers, our level-certified thermographers capture precise temperature differentials, identifying dangerous thermal anomalies long before contact melting or insulator breakdown occurs.
