GE Hydran 201Ti

• Data Storage: Local recording of up to one year of data and major events.
• Self-Diagnostics: Automatic system checks every 15 days; triggers service alerts for faults like power loss, oil valve closure, or sensor/battery replacement needs.
• Operating Temperature: -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to +140°F).
• Power Supply: 220VAC (standard configuration).
• Dimensions: 12.5 x 9.5 x 9 inches (31.75 x 24.13 x 22.86 cm).

Functional Features

• Real-Time Monitoring: Continuously measures key fault gases (H₂, CO, C₂H₂, C₂H₄) for insights into transformer health.
• Alarm Settings: Configurable dual-level alarms (“Alert” and “Alarm”) based on gas concentration (ppm) or hourly/daily rate-of-change (ROC).
• Remote Access: Enables remote viewing of gas readings and trends via serial communication, reducing field visits.
• Self-Calibration: No field calibration required; maintenance-free operation.
• Robust Design: No moving parts, pumps, or additional piping needed; installs directly on a single transformer oil valve.
• Compliance: Provides data aligned with IEEE® Standard C57.104 for authoritative fault analysis.
• Software Compatibility: Integrates with GE’s Perception™ software for data download and trend analysis.

Application Scenarios

• Power Utilities: Used in substations and transmission networks to monitor critical transformers, prioritize asset replacement, and minimize unplanned outages.
• Industrial Plants: Protects against process interruptions caused by transformer failures, reducing costly production downtime.
• Renewable Energy: Monitors transformers in wind/solar farms to ensure grid stability and optimize maintenance schedules.
• Data Centers: Safeguards backup power transformers to prevent data loss during outages.
• Oil & Gas: Ensures reliable operation of transformers in hazardous environments with explosion-proof configurations.

Advantages Over Traditional Methods

• Superior to Manual Oil Sampling: Eliminates delays and human errors associated with periodic lab testing by providing continuous, real-time data.
• Early Fault Detection: Identifies incipient faults (e.g., partial discharges, overheating) days or weeks before catastrophic failure.
• Cost-Effective: Reduces maintenance costs by enabling condition-based maintenance instead of scheduled overhauls.
• Global Track Record: Over 25,000 units deployed worldwide, trusted by leading utilities and industries.

Key Components

• Gas Extraction Membrane: Durable, vacuum-resistant membrane for accurate gas sampling without contamination.
• Sensor Module: Long-life composite or hydrogen-only sensor with improved durability and RoHS compliance.
• Electronics Board: Advanced circuitry for reliable data processing and communication.
• Enclosure: IP54-rated housing for protection against dust and water ingress in harsh environments.
