Transformer repair, maintenance and testing

1 min readNews

Transformers play a vital role in production and everyday life, converting transmission voltages from the utility into distribution voltages suitable for use.

During operation, however, many subjective and objective factors affect the transformer and the power system as a whole. Regular transformer maintenance is therefore essential.

DONGANHMEE’s transformer repair, maintenance and testing services meet all of these needs.
