"Standard" Distribution Transformers built before 1981 problems
(OP)
We have 17 7.5MVA xfmrs on our site, a testing company has said that "Standard" transformers are no good and he would never energize one. All test on the transformer come back to todays acceptance standards level. The testing company has not come up with any proof of problems yet. Have any of you had problems with this type of transformer. We have been shuting down and starting up these units at least once a year for 30 years with no problems.

Standard is a brand, made in India. I have run into them before but not enough to judge quality. ht
Every OEM has at one time, made some product, for a period of time that was junk. Meaning high failure rates. But unless test results show a problem I would not replace something that works, and tests fine.
You have some test results to show us?

Standard did make some smaller pad mount under 1000kva that were junk for a little while.

I prefer Fords, but does that mean all Chevys are junk?

If it is broken, fix it. If it isn't broken, I'll soon fix that.
