Electrical Transformer Test Facility

Construction of a dedicated testing area at a transformer facility with associated control rooms and visitor observation area, enabling BRUSH Transformers to accurately acoustically test their world class products prior to dispatch. The test cell area achieved the required ambient noise levels.

The Problem
In order to undertake pre-delivery noise tests of the electrical transformers manufactured by BRUSH
Transformers in Loughborough, a low ambient noise level was required. This was very difficult to achieve in a work shop area with a rail line directly behind. As more tests were required to be witnessed by clients it was decided a dedicated test facility was required.

The Solution

A dedicated test facility measuring 18m X 14m X 8m high was constructed by AGS Noise Control using our heavy gauge acoustic panel system. The test facility included a lattice beam structure to achieve a clear span within the test area. In addition the test facility also included a 5m wide full height sliding door. This enables transformers to be brought into the test area by bespoke air skates. Two control rooms and a visitor observation area were also constructed as part of the package.
