At MVA Diagnostics, we’re continuing to grow our laboratory team and are looking for a skilled chemist who is passionate about analytical science and making a real impact on the reliability of the electric power industry. Every transformer oil sample
Every transformer oil sample contains valuable information about the condition of your asset. Through comprehensive transformer oil diagnostic testing, developing problems can often be identified long before they result in unplanned outages, expensive repairs, or premature transformer failure. By analyzing
Reliable transformers don’t fail overnight. In most cases, they provide warning signs long before a failure occurs, if you know where to look. Transformer condition monitoring is the process of evaluating the health of a transformer using diagnostic testing and
At the 2026 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting, MVA Diagnostics Founder and CEO Scott Reed had the opportunity to present “Understanding What’s Happening to the Transformer as It Ages,” a technical session focused on the aging process of
MVA Services is seeking experienced Senior Transformer Technicians to join our nationwide field service team. If you have hands-on experience with power transformer assembly, vacuum filling, maintenance, repairs, oil processing, or electrical testing, you’ll work on challenging projects that help
Keeping Our Transformer Oil Diagnostic Programs Running Reliable transformer oil diagnostics begin long before a sample reaches our laboratory. Every successful testing program depends on accurate sampling, proper materials, and efficient logistics, and Carrie plays an essential role in making that happen.
Reliable transformer maintenance begins with high-quality diagnostic data. At MVA Diagnostics, our in-house transformer oil testing laboratory provides comprehensive insulating fluid analysis to support condition-based maintenance and asset reliability programs. From Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA), dielectric strength, moisture, acidity, inhibitor
Keeping transformers operating reliably starts with a diagnostic program that matches the needs of each asset. While routine oil testing is an essential part of transformer maintenance, a one-size-fits-all approach often fails to provide the level of insight needed for
