- Measurements (at nominal voltage on the primary side)
- Sweep Frequency Response Analysis
- Inspection and static electrical tests
Methodology
ERM Consulting utilize state of the art electrical test instruments and more importantly, our Electrical Engineering team have a full understanding of the test specimen, how to test and results analysis. Our approach is vastly different to a “Workshop” approach! This adds value to our clients as we treat their assets like that of our own and understand the issues that we all face on site!

ERM Consulting delivered this project at no delay to our client. This ensured the end user in the Pilbara region of Western Australia remained confident and satisfied to put the transformer in service. A great result for the entire team.
Conclusion
