Part 2/5:
During the inspection of the transformer, noticeable corrosion was observed around a specific part of the unit. This corrosion raised concerns about the potential cause of failure, suggesting that it needed to be addressed immediately. Corrosion can compromise the integrity of electrical components, leading to malfunctions. Recognizing this early on can help prevent further damage, highlighting the importance of regular maintenance checks.
Evaluating Components
The maintenance process included a thorough evaluation of various components, particularly the resistors. Upon examination, it became evident that one of the resistors had suffered thermal damage, as evidenced by signs of overheating and smoking. Such issues can lead to complete failure if not addressed promptly.
