Transformer Diagnostics with SFRA

Sweep frequency response analysis (SFRA) is a technique for assessing the condition of transformers without opening them up. It works by making accurate and repeatable frequency domain measurements on transformers to detect mechanical damage like core movement, winding issues, and clamping structure problems. SFRA is preferred over impulse testing as it allows inspectors to see inside transformers using frequency sweeps to identify concealed defects.
