Transformer Gas Monitor - TGM
Real-State Gas-Monitoring Systems

Transformator-Gasmonitor TGM Application

TGM is an online gas monitor for selected transformer gases which are dissolved in oil and which accumulate as Buchholz gas. Additionally, there is a possibility for a take-off of gas samples for external analyses to complete the failure gas pattern with the hydrocarbons.

The data transfer can be realised by dialling or direct communication.

TGM can be extended to form a diagnosis unit. The device is suitable for all transformer types as well as all operating conditions.

Features

Gases dissolved in oil:
  • degree of gas saturation
  • contents of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide as well as the monitoring sum of hydrocarbons
  • sampling for complete external analysis
  • quality control with natural internal standard (NIS)
Transformator-Gasmonitor TGM Undissolved gases:
  • daily accumulation rate of Buchholz gases
  • quick analysis of Buchholz gases, esp. in case of Buchholz alarm
  • securing for complete external analysis
  • automatic bleeding of Buchholz relay
Other:
  • automatic calibration
  • modular equipment concept
  • options of extension:
    • additional measuring points
    • up to 3 transformers
  • signal inputs (e.g. gas alarm, load current, oil temperature)
  • measuring of oil moisture
