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.

Dynamic Ratings partners with different universities to help develop the next generation of engineers. During the 2024-2025 school year, Dynamic Ratings sponsored a senior design project at Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE) focused on partial discharge (PD) detection...
Transformers are among the most critical—and costly—assets in the electrical grid. Yet many failures occur without warning, often between routine maintenance cycles. That’s where Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) comes in. DGA monitoring gives utilities a window into the internal condition of a transformer without interrupting service. Operators can detect faults in their earliest stages...
Transformers are the backbone of electrical infrastructure, and their longevity depends on effective temperature monitoring. Fiber optic temperature monitoring has emerged as an advanced solution, providing real-time, direct winding temperature measurements with a high degree of accuracy. Reliable real-time temperature tracking leads to improved condition based monitoring, helping utilities optimize performance...
