QA/QC (Quality Assurance/Quality Control)
Systematic processes ensuring transformer design, manufacturing, and testing meet all specified standards and customer requirements.
QA/QC in transformer manufacturing encompasses all systematic activities ensuring product quality from design through delivery. QA = preventive processes (design review, procedure control, material qualification); QC = verification activities (inspection, testing, documentation).
Key stages: incoming material inspection (steel, copper, bushings); in-process checks (winding tension, core stacking); factory testing (impedance, resistance, temperature rise, impulse); final documentation review.
International projects require third-party inspection (SGS, TUV, Lloyd). QDTB maintains ISO 9001 quality systems with full traceability.
QDTB QA/QC covers 100% factory testing per IEC 60076 and IEEE C57. Contact our quality team for inspection protocols.
