WHY SHERMCO OIL DIAGNOSTICS

From our technicians in the field to our in-house lab analysts, we can help you preserve your electrical equipment. We help you avoid costly downtime and equipment failures while extending the reliability of electrical transformers, tap changers, circuit breakers, rectifiers and other oil-filled electrical assets.

With extensive oil and testing laboratory services, we can provide a preventative maintenance program to limit the majority of oil-filled electrical equipment failures. By identifying contamination levels of combustible gases, water, and particulates in insulating oils, our experienced oil testing analysts can identify chemical and material changes indicative of hidden conditions that can lead to equipment failure and suggest corrective actions.
