We live in an era of growing demand for electricity, which makes understanding transformer health critical to reliably meeting customer demand and avoiding the small, but highly disruptive, chance of transformer explosions.
Hydrogen is generated when significant issues like overheating, partial discharge and arcing occur in transformers. Continuous and realtime monitoring of hydrogen tracks and alerts operators to small problems before they become big problems. Hydrogen monitoring provides continuous real time data and is dramatically less expensive than installing multi-gas monitors.
H2scan’s GRIDSCAN® 5000 hydrogen monitors are small form factor monitors that deliver very high accuracy and need no calibration or maintenance for 10 years or more.
Find more information and resources about the urgent need for real-time hydrogen monitoring and how the GRIDSCAN 5000 can meet those needs.
