Many industries have a need of high energy consumption and own their transformers. When a transformer explodes, the plant can be out of service for several days, directly generating a financial loss.
Even if a few industries use a 50% load capacity on each of their transformers to anticipate a transformer failure, a transformer explosion and fire can affect the second transformer, leading to loss of production.
In some industries, the risk can be even higher:
- Mining: When transformers are located underground, the mining infrastructure can be impacted with a transformer explosion. It impacts directly to human life
- Wood industries: a spark is a real risk as it is surrounded of wood and it is a dry area
- Oil & Gas: Transformers can be located near oil and gas, and a fire can lead to a dangerous explosion
- Chemicals: Chemical plant explosions have already led to death. As for other industries, a fire can have a high level of consequences
Considering the high level of risk associated to the loss of a transformer and its consequences, many industries have opted for the TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR to secure their assets, such as, but not limited to::
- Oil & Gas
- Car manufacturing
- Sugar processing
