As an independent focal point for
the industry, Transformer World provides an opportunity to collect
information about transformer faults and problems occurring around the world
with a view to building a dynamic database that can be accessed on line by
members. This facility is currently under development.
Preliminary proposals are set out below.

Objective
To build a global database of transformer failures to help owners, operators, contractors and manufacturers benefit from experiences in the field.
