Power Transformers

Power transformers are critical devices that enable electrical energy transfer between circuits operating at different voltage levels. Operating on the principle of electromagnetic induction, they play a vital role in the transmission and distribution of power across utility, industrial, and commercial systems.

There are various types of power transformers, each designed for specific applications and voltage ranges. Our team of experts understands the nuances of these systems and delivers tailored services to meet your operational needs. We combine deep technical expertise with advanced diagnostic tools to provide accurate condition appraisals and actionable insights.

Kinectrics offers comprehensive services for power and distribution transformers, supporting every stage of the asset lifecycle, from design and commissioning to maintenance, diagnostics, and failure analysis. Our team of transformer specialists brings trusted, third-party expertise, backed by advanced testing technologies and industry-leading practices.

We support clients across all power transformer activities, whether on-site or in our state-of-the-art laboratories, and offer fast, accurate, reliable solutions to ensure the safety, efficiency, and longevity of your transformers.

Key Benefits

  • Extensive Industry Expertise

    Our team of power transformer experts has extensive experience in the design, manufacturing, testing, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of both power and distribution transformers. We understand the full transformer lifecycle, provide solutions that enhance reliability, and help you detect early warning signs of transformer issues to prevent costly failures.

  • Unique Capabilities

    We offer specialized services to solve complex transformer challenges. One of our standout technologies is the Low-Frequency Heating (LFH) insulation dry-out system—the most powerful mobile system of its kind in North America. This system enables rapid and effective field-drying of transformer insulation, achieving excellent moisture reduction in days rather than weeks.

  • Standards and Certifications

    Our transformer testing facilities and services comply with internationally recognized standards, including IEEE C57 Series and ISO/IEC 17025. Compliance with recognized standards ensures that our testing methods meet the highest levels of accuracy, safety, and reliability.

  • Advanced Diagnostics

    Our experience allows us to analyze, diagnose, and test all types of transformers, identifying issues that may not be visible during routine inspections. This includes transformer oil analysis, insulation resistance testing, dielectric frequency response, sweep frequency response analysis, acoustic partial discharge localization and electrical partial discharge testing.
