Wind Turbine Condition Monitoring
It has also become increasingly apparent in recent years that the wind turbine industry has recognised the importance of condition-based monitoring, especially for offshore wind turbines, where access is often limited.To increase reliability and minimise down time, many wind turbine manufacturers, owners and operators are turning to condition-based monitoring systems, aimed at predicting wind turbine maintenance issues, so that operators can quickly and effectively carry out predictive maintenance, repairs and replacements of components when needed, without the need for costly routine maintenance checks and visits. As a result, a condition monitoring system increases operational time, improves site performance and reduces maintenance costs for wind turbines, especially offshore ones.

Tap Changer Analyzers & Winding Ohmmeters
Winding resistance test of inductive test objects, such as power transformers, is one of the most effective non-intrusive ways of checking its condition. Due to their advanced design, DV Power winding resistance meters provide high test currents (up to 100 A DC) and high accuracy (up to 0.1%) within light and portable test instruments. In addition to winding resistance measurement, it is also possible to perform simple, quick and reliable transformer on-load tap changer condition assessment by recording the test current during tap changer operation, also known as DVtest. Because of that, problems with a tap changer connection, contacts, and switching procedure can be detected.DV Power winding ohmmeters consist of single-phase RMO-T and three-phase TWA series. Models from the TWA series are designed for six-winding resistance measurement of power and distribution transformers, with only one single-step cable setup. As a result of reducing the total test time, it enables significant saving of time and money.Typical application areas of these instruments are high-voltage substations and industrial environments. They are intended to measure the resistance of:Transformer windingsOn-load tap changersGeneratorsElectrical motorsHigh-current bus bar jointsCable splicesWelding joints
