Maintenance and diagnosis solutions for power equipment

When power equipment is operated for an extended period of time after installation or thorough inspection, moving and consumable parts degrade and become stuck. As a result, periodic inspections are necessary to ensure operational reliability and blackout prevention. Hyosung Heavy Industries prevents accidents by offering maintenance and diagnosis solutions for power equipment, based on vast data and extensive experience with existing power equipment.

Features and Anticipated Effects

Lowered Risk of Accidents (Ensuring quality due to new replacement)

  • Utilizing a special dust-proof room to maintain the cleanliness of the workplace.
  • Replacement of all device-degrading components (e.g. spacers, solenoid valves) with new ones.

Lifespan Management and Diagnosis

  • Assuring operational dependability and extending lifespan by inspecting and replacing components during scheduled blackouts.
  • Precise lifespan diagnosis provided based on expertise unique to power equipment manufacturers.
  • Identification of internal abnormalities using cutting-edge equipment such as X-ray diagnosis and UHF PD diagnosis.

Uninterrupted Preventive Diagnosis

  • Predictive maintenance and stable power operation are made possible by uninterrupted preventive diagnosis, and equipment deterioration is avoided by performing repairs and part replacements as needed.

Live Wire Diagnosis

  • Removal of abnormal gases and moisture from transformer oil via filtration during operation.
  • Maintenance of production load continuity and extension of the lifespan of transformers.
  • Hyosung Heavy Industries offers live wire filtration equipment (HS-100) developed in-house.

Remodeling Solution

To prepare for potential accidents, expansions, and alterations in customer load, power equipment remodeling is necessary. Hyosung Heavy Industries offers solutions for extending the lifespan of power equipment via its structure, extensive interior design experience, skilled supervisors, and commitment to quality.

Features and Anticipated Effects

Site Remodeling

  • Elimination of failure factors by enhancing the appearance, operation, and functionality of long-term power equipment through the application of lifespan extension techniques.
  • Replacement of aging consumables such as external parts, relays, OLTC drive boxes, and LCP with structural enhancements to achieve the same service life as new products.

Quality Guarantee

  • Applied with the same warranty period of three years and six months as that of factory remodeling.
  • Quality assurance through the optimization of testing and remodeling procedures for the site remodeling process.

Simplified Work Procedures

  • Reduced work time by ensuring the most efficient renovation procedure (within 15 days for GIS 2CCT, 5 days for GCB 1CCT).

Possible to operate a diverse portfolio of the entire power equipment.

  • Minimized risk of accidents through the application of various solutions (e.g. new replacement, factory warehousing, site renovation) by introducing on-site renovation.

No compatibility issues with the substation's existing facilities.

  • Conducting quality assurance through electrical/structural compatibility review and testing via a process change note (PCN) for each major discontinued part applicable to all products delivered by Hyosung Heavy Industries.

Parts Management

In the case of power equipment, a specific replacement period is established due to the deterioration of each component; consequently, periodic replacement is necessary to enhance product quality and ensure performance reliability. Hyosung Heavy Industries provides materials such as bushings, gaskets, spacer insulators, and instruments that meet the requested specifications based on our manufacturing expertise and track record of timely delivery. Our products can be used with confidence as we offer delivery and after-sales service guarantees.
