Buchholz gas tester - BGT
System solutions for fault diagnosis

Buchholzgas-Tester - BGT Application

The Buchholz gas tester serves to measure the fault gas content of the Buchholz relay. Measurement can be performed directly at the sampling site, e.g. in the transformer substation or in a testing laboratory. The Buchholz gas tester allows quick fault analysis on site, hence facilitating the decision-making process with regard to the elimination of faults.

Features

  • Quick and easy analysis of the Buchholz gason site to identify air and fault gas collection
  • Can be combined with the Buchholz gas sampler or Buchholz relay extensions to form a functional unit
  • Deductible signal limit value
  • Maintenance-free sensor
  • Easy calibration with air
