Large Power Transformer Case Study: ShockLog 298

Industry: Power Generation

Application: Large Power Transformer

Challenge: Power transformers are


heavy (as much as 410 tons 372,000
kilograms), yet extremely sensitive.
Impacts of relatively low G-Force value
can cause enough internal damage that
a transformer should not be installed
even if there are no physical signs.
To prevent the costs associated with
installation of a damaged transformer,
a company needed to understand what
type of events were causing damage
to their product and then monitor for
those events.

Solution: Using ShockLog 298 recorders, the company recorded direction, amplitude, and duration of impact
forces to their transformers to determine that low frequency impacts (duration > 50 milliseconds) during
transport were causing failure. Capturing the acceleration (waveform) and impact duration helped the company
to both make product design improvements and set alarm threshold levels to monitor the product while in
transport and avoid the costly installation of damaged product.

ShockLog® 298 Overview®


Real-Time Impact Data
The ShockLog 298 is a highly durable
impact recorder that can be configured
to monitor critical parameters, providing
an unmistakable alert that an impact
to a shipment or equipment may have
compromised its integrity, performance, or
safe operation. The ShockLog 298 monitors
impact, events, vibration, and internal
temperature and provides peak value (time
slot) and summary period journey profile
data. Combined with either a cellular
communication module (ShockLog Cellular)
or Satellite communication (ShockLog
Satellite), the ShockLog 298 can deliver
information in real-time.

Protect Your High Value Assets


Customers use the ShockLog 298 impact
recorder to:
• Alert recipients and operators to inspect goods
and equipment for potential damage
• Determine baseline damage boundaries
• Detect mishandling during shipping, operation,
and storage, enabling you to identify and assign
accountability and take corrective action
• Make adjustments to product packaging, loading process, carriers, or mode of transport
• Help identify opportunities for improvement through journey profiling
