Reclosers

THE LEADER IN RECLOSER REPAIR


Emerald Transformer is an industry-leading provider of repair and maintenance services for oil circuit reclosers (OCRs). In addition, Emerald Transformer purchases surplus OCRs. By refurbishing and reselling idle units, we not only bring costs down for customers but also reduce waste and create a positive impact on the environment.

Our recloser repair specialists run every OCR through a series of rigorous tests to identify and diagnose issues and quickly formulate a course of action. These tests include:

  • Hi-pot (high potential) test
  • Contact resistance test
  • Control timing test

Once we’ve located the source of an OCR’s issue, we make the necessary repairs to get the unit back into service. These repairs can range from new control installation and any necessary control upgrades to other areas of service. Once we’ve completed the repair process, we run all testing again, including a trip check, to make sure your OCR unit is functioning properly.

To avoid the need for major transformer repair, we recommend regular OCR maintenance to keep your units running smoothly. Emerald Transformer can dispatch teams nationwide to test your units and perform the work required to ensure your OCRs stay up and operational.

Since 2012, we have saved $1.1 MM by repairing transformers rather than purchasing new transformers.
