frequently asked questions
What is a Smart Breather, and what makes it smart for transformer use?
An EMR Smart Breather keeps moisture out of the transformer by drying incoming air, protecting the oil and insulation. It is smart because it uses sensors, auto-regenerates the drying agent, and provides alerts when moisture levels rise – ensuring reliable, low-maintenance moisture control.
What does a transformer protection relay do?
An EMR transformer protection relay senses faults or overloads and triggers alarm and disconnection to prevent equipment damage and downtime.
How do relays protect transformers and OLTCs from damage?
EMR relays continuously monitor electrical conditions and disconnect the system instantly when an abnormality starts to occur, preventing faults from escalating.
What is DCRM testing in transformers?
EMR DCRM testing measures contact resistance in OLTCs to detect early signs of wear or mechanical issues – without disconnecting the tap changer from the winding or disturbing site conditions.
What are motor drive units and why are they important for OLTCs?
EMR motor drive units (MDUs) power the OLTC mechanism for smooth tap changes and stable voltage output. They also provide critical status information to monitoring systems and enable automatic voltage adjustments.
How can I tell if my transformer needs maintenance or repair?
An EMR-monitored transformer may show signs like unusual noise, oil leaks, overheating, unstable voltage, or abnormal/sudden changes in DGA values – indicating the need for maintenance or repair.
What’s included in a transformer repair or service?
An EMR transformer service includes inspection, testing, cleaning, oil treatment, and replacement of worn parts – along with post-maintenance testing and restoring the transformer to service within the stipulated time.
What products does EMR offer?
EMR manufactures electromechanical transformer technologies, including high-precision OLTC tap changers, motor drive units, monitoring systems, and related transformer components built with advanced CNC and semi-robotic production systems.
How long has EMR been in business?
EMR has been a global leader in transformer technology for over 50 years, supplying trusted solutions worldwide.
What markets does EMR serve?
EMR serves global power transformer manufacturers, electrical utilities, renewable energy systems, and industrial sectors that require reliable, high-quality transformer technology.
