Dissolved Gas Analyser

Our industry leading on-line DGA monitors and TM VIEW™ software are monitoring generation, transmission and distribution power transformers worldwide. DGA (dissolved gas analysis) of transformer oil is the single best indicator of a transformer’s overall condition. For the first time, the benefits of on-line condition monitoring can be realized across the distribution transformer fleet.

Throughout your system there are transformers that are vital to the reliability of your grid – GSU’s, large transmission transformers, and critical substation transformers. Serveron DGA transformer monitors provide the important and timely information needed to maintain the reliability and safety of transformer fleets.
