TRANSFORMER ASSOCIATES Transformer Associates collects and analyzes insulating fluid for transformers. “We test that oil, similar to when you go to a doctor, they test your blood,” said Rodney Herndon, president and CEO of the Canton-based company. Herndon’s employees can diagnose faults that may be occurring in the transformer from the pattern of gases present in the oil. Transformer Associates can repair leaks, treat the oil to remove unsafe gas and contaminants, do some transformer repairs, and advise clients. Herndon has built up to testing “in the thousands” of transformers, mostly owned by smaller businesses. He estimate 95 percent of his client base is outside of Ohio, many in the Chicago, New York and Alabama areas. “I’m from this area, and my employees are from this area, so for now we’re going to stay put,” Herndon said.
