Product Short Description
Product Overview
GE Hydran 201Ti is a compact, continuous on-line DGA monitor engineered for incipient fault detection in oil-filled electrical equipment, primarily power transformers. It employs fuel cell-based fixed instrument technology (Method 3 per IEEE Standard C57.104) to measure dissolved gases in transformer oil, delivering a composite gas value with 100% response to hydrogen and sensitivity to carbon monoxide, acetylene, and ethylene, or a hydrogen-only measurement option. The unit mounts on a single transformer valve via dynamic oil sampling, eliminating pumps, extra piping, and on-site calibration, enabling plug-and-play installation with minimal maintenance. It integrates an intelligent microprocessor, LCD interface, and multiple communication ports to provide real-time gas data, trend analysis, and alarm notifications, supporting compliance with industry standards and proactive transformer fleet management to prevent unplanned outages.
