Since we started installing transformers with IFD’s, it is now much easier and faster to troubleshoot 3 ph overhead banks where a fault has occurred.
This will help us find bad transformers immediately, instead of having to revisit the same transformer several times before we finally take it down.
I used to be a lineman. When you have a transformer fuse cut-out explode in your face and a faulty transformer dump hot oil on you, it isn’t something you want to experience again. IFD technology is the greatest thing since ice cream. I would recommend this to all utilities.
