What if our VFD transformer fails one day?

Transformer is a very reliable electric equipment. There are thousands and thousands of transformers around the globe and they work just fine. Most of them are in duty 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. So why shall I worry?

Transformer and MTBF figure

Reliability and availability can be expressed in different ways. One of them uses the terms MTBF (Mean Time Between Failure) and MTTR (Mean Time To Repair). For power transformers you most likely find MTBF figures ranging 1’500 years to 2’000 years. No doubt – transformer is an extremely reliable piece of equipment.

However, statistics is one thing. Reality might be a bit different. What if the transformer fails? The probability is low. Yet, the consequences might be fatal.

Spare unit

Not everyone has a spare transformer available. In fact, most end users do not have any capital spare unit. It simply does not fit into modern management striving to optimize the cash flow and minimize the stock.

Spare unit is like a health insurance. No-one likes to pay for it when everything works fine. But everyone is grateful to have one when something goes very wrong.
