Transformers tested, delivered, installed and monitored by our team
Tests
Before it leaves our workshop, every transformer undergoes a battery of tests to guarantee its compliance, among other things, with the basic international standard IEC 60076.

Integrated
test platform
With its 3-strong team the test platform forms a veritable “control tower” in the workshop and is involved in the transformer manufacturing process from the very beginning. Our test technicians start by controlling the quality of the windings ensuring they are compliant with the design sheets provided by the design office, then they are involved at every stage of production through to the final acceptance of the transformers: the Factory Acceptance Tests, often carried out in the presence of the customer.
Overview
of the test platform
3 groups of tests
- These concern every transformer we make.
- They are carried out 100% in the factory.
OBJECTIVES:
- To ensure that the transformer’s characteristics are exactly those sold to the customer.
- To measure its performances (no-load losses, load losses, short-circuit voltage).
These concern the first transformer in a series of identical units. Optional tests including:
- Lightning impulse tests,
- Temperature rise tests,
- Noise level tests.
These are also optional tests, which may include: measurement of winding capacitance, frequency response analysis (SFRA), short-circuit withstand test, partial discharge test, dissolved gas analysis, measurement of dissipation factor (tan δ), etc.
A happy customer is a loyal customer!
celduc® transfo systematically invites its customers to the factory acceptance tests on their transformer. This provides an opportunity to discuss the project the transformer is for and allows us to explain the test procedures carried out and the results obtained. As the transformers manufactured in Sorbiers go into use on every continent and every ocean, it is not uncommon for our customers to make a long trip over to see us.

1.
LOADING THE EQUIPMENT
Our logistics team loads your transformer onto the lorry and ensures that it is properly secured.
2.
SHOCK SENSOR AND LOGGER
• SHOCK SENSOR
This is a mechanical device placed on the transformer tank that records any shocks suffered by transformer on arrival and estimates their severity.
• SHOCK DATA LOGGER
This is an electronic device placed on the tank which records the time and geographical location of the slightest shock event affecting the transformer during transport. It is essential that the device be returned to celduc® transfo so that we can consult the record of the shock events and print out the report.
The transformer can be fitted with either a shock sensor or a shock data logger.
3.
PACKING SERVICE
For transformers that are to be shipped by sea, celduc® transfo can provide SEI4c packing (wooden crate and watertight cover), which meets standard NIMP15, to protect your equipment against the elements.
4.
CHOICE OF TRANSPORT MODE
Our logistics team will give you the choice of collecting your transformer from our workshop (loaded and secured) or having us organise its transport to your chosen destination anywhere in the world. We work with a wide panel of freight forwarders so that we can organise transport of your transformer by road, sea or rail but also by air and according to the incoterm of your choice.
ABNORMAL LOAD
And if the transformer exceeds the standard size, that’s not a problem either…
We will get it to its destination using abnormal load arrangements.
