About Dynamic Ratings | Condition Based Monitoring

About Dynamic Ratings

Dynamic Ratings designs, manufactures, and supports condition-based monitoring systems for critical power infrastructure — transformers, circuit breakers, and related grid assets. Utilities, cooperatives, and municipal power providers use Dynamic Ratings’ monitoring products and services to detect early signs of asset degradation, extend equipment life, and reduce the risk of unplanned outages and catastrophic failures.

Dynamic Ratings is headquartered in Sussex, Wisconsin, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Wilson Transformer Company, an Australian transformer manufacturer founded in 1933.

What We Do

Dynamic Ratings helps utilities run condition monitoring programs covering:

target

1. Asset Management & Risk Reduction

Roughly 1 in every 200 transformers experiences a major failure each year, and unexpected failures carry significant safety and cost risk. Dynamic Ratings works with asset managers to design a monitoring approach matched to their specific fleet and risk profile — there is no single one-size-fits-all solution. See our online condition monitoring solutions for details.

2. LIFESTREAM™ Support Services

As utilities manage reduced staffing, tighter budgets, and the loss of institutional knowledge, Dynamic Ratings’ LIFESTREAM™ services cover planning, system design, project management, and implementation — reducing the manual burden of repetitive maintenance tasks. Learn more about LIFESTREAM™.

3. Training, Knowledge Sharing & Support

Dynamic Ratings provides webinars, customer training, user group meetings, and a customer resource portal, plus direct access to monitoring experts for questions on what to monitor, how to interpret data, and next steps after installation.

Our Parent Company: Wilson Transformer Company

Wilson Transformer Company

Wilson Transformer Company was founded in 1933 and operates multiple transformer manufacturing plants. In the early 1980s, Wilson partnered with a major Australian utility on a joint transformer monitoring development project — the origin of what became the Dynamic Ratings division. Dynamic Ratings opened its U.S. office in 2002, which now serves as global headquarters.

Latest News

As assets begin to reach a failure-prone age, utilities face a growing wave of outages, costly repairs, and mounting regulatory pressure. Aging assets are silently straining the grid, and expectations for reliability and sustainability continue to rise. Complete equipment replacement may sound logical on paper, but in reality, large-scale replacement programs strain capital budgets, require extended outages...
A single transformer failure at a critical or hard-to-access substation, with no redundancy, can halt production at a mine for hours or even days, costing millions in lost revenue and creating further knock-on effects and safety risks that ripple through the entire operation, further reducing potential output...
System operators are tasked with a continual balancing act of matching supply with demand in real time. When available transmission capacity falls short of electricity demand in specific areas, grid congestion occurs. Our historic grid infrastructure was never designed for the energy landscape we are operating in today...
