The purpose of using Impact Shock Recorder for monitoring transformers :

• Determine any shock that may have caused a concealed damage
• Use the data to substantiate any insurance claims, as these recorders log the time of any impact that might have caused damage. The most modern loggers also allow location and data monitoring remotely
• To reduce warranty claims that may occur later during operation due to shock damage during transportation. Usually this occurs due to concealed damage going unnoticed. Though this should be covered under transit insurance the cost is born by the Transformer manufacturer under warranty due to lack of proper use of impact recorders
• The data collected over time can be used to empirically calculate Transformer fragility or improve Transformer designs
• To form the first line of test to decide on whether more expensive tests like FRA should be done at site or not
