  1. Transformer Asset Management

  2. Pitfalls of Existing Process • No information on transformers if not installed in the field. • Limited electrical characteristic data • No history • No comparative analysis possible • Repetitive entry of the same information in FIS

  3. New Process • Transformers treated similarly to other materials in a warehouse. • Data linked to graphics (PcAge, Asset Viewer). • Enhanced electrical test data. • Complete history from receipt to retirement. • Simple search for inventory.

  4. Receipt • Minimal data entered by Material Coordinator on receipt of transformer. • Company number (application does not allow duplicates) • Manufacturer • Serial number • KVA • Location • Notes (job #, special characteristics, etc)

  5. Data Entry - New XFMR

  6. Receipt - cont. • All remaining information imported from csv file provided by manufacturer. • Voltages • IR, IX, IZ • Losses (load, no load) • Regulation • Mfr. date

  7. Assigning Transformers to Location Codes • Find the transformer by Company #.

  8. Assigning Transformers - cont. • Assign to Location Code • Select position (graphics link) • application prevents inserting a transformer in an occupied position • Add notes • Click on out button.

  9. Removing Transformers • Enter Company # and find. • Confirm location code. • Enter location where transformer is returned • Enter status (Yard, unusable) • Yard indicates transformer is suitable to be put back in the field. • Unusable to be retired or sent for repair.

  10. Removing Transformers

  11. Transfer Between CC’s • Enter Company # • Confirm transformer information • Select transfer option • Select new CC

  12. Transfer Between CC’s

  13. Retirement • Enter Company # • Must Have Status of Yard or Unusable. • Confirm Transformer Information • Enter Retirement Date

  14. Retirement

  15. Search / Edit • Search by • Company Number • KVA • Location • Location Code • Serial # • Status • Two Qualifiers possible with and/or selection

  16. Search / Edit • Operands • = Equal • != Not Equal • < Less Than • <= Less Than or Equal To • > Greater Than • >= Greater Than or Equal To

  17. Search / Edit • Sort of results available • Save results as csv for import to other applications • Popup window for expanded viewing • Full edit capabilities - TREAT WITH CARE!

  18. Search / Edit

  19. Popup and Edit Windows

  20. Impact to Mapping Process • EC’s Create new Location Code • Enter KVA and Phase Connection • All Remaining Information is Inserted Through Transformer Application • Location Code Must Exist in Database for Transformer Application to Work

  21. Impact to Mapping Process • Elimination of Work Library • Implement Pending Flags in Database • Actions Through Transformer Application Immediately Available in Next Graphics Retrieval

  22. Improvements to Process • Permanent Retention of Transformer Information • Transformer Installations Available in Graphics Sooner • Quick Reporting of Inventory • Built-in Error Checking • Improved Work Flow
