Benefits of TEV/Ultra Sound Testing
1. Non-intrusive detection technique
2. No shut down of equipment. Detection can be made on
live equipment
3. Early warning of abnormalities in equipment
4. Locates potential sources of failure of insulation
5. Time to get backup equipment and schedule repairs
6. Reduce unexpected outages due to faults/failures of
equipment
7. Increase reliability and ensure safety of equipment and
system
8. Preventive maintenance is condition based (only
performed when needed) instead of time based
9. Asset manager to have confidence in how his assets are
performing January 14
