Bob Rasor, Director of Transformer Services at SDMyers, was recently featured as a panelist in the Power Panel Discussions: Monitoring, Diagnostics, Maintenance, and Reliability webinar hosted by Power Systems Technology. The panel, which included other industry leaders from Qualitrol, Systems With Intelligence, and Dynamic Ratings, brought together decades of insight into the future of transformer asset management and monitoring.

With nearly five decades of industry experience since beginning his career in 1978, Bob brought a grounded, real-world perspective to the conversation—one shaped by SDMyers' proud commitment to transformer reliability and customer service excellence. His contributions focused on how organizations can leverage data trends, predictive maintenance strategies, and thoughtful planning to maximize uptime and reduce failures.

“We like to use trending as a very powerful tool, and one of the best ways to trend is to have more data. That leads us to knowledge about the data, which is great. Tied to that knowledge is the wisdom as to where it all leads us.”

Throughout the discussion, Bob emphasized the importance of moving from reactive to proactive maintenance approaches, incorporating everything from condition-based monitoring to visual inspections and transformer oil testing. He underscored that wise transformer fleet management requires more than just tools—it demands a vision for long-term resilience and reliability.
