In the electrical power industry, transformers are critical assets that require meticulous monitoring to ensure reliable operation. One of the most effective methods for assessing transformer health is through dissolved gas analysis (DGA). GlobeCore, a leader in industrial equipment manufacturing, offers the TOR-2 dissolved gas analyzer—an advanced solution for accurate and efficient transformer oil testing.

Dissolved Gas Analyzer

Dissolved gas analysis is a diagnostic method used to detect and measure gases dissolved in transformer oil. These gases are byproducts of thermal and electrical faults within the transformer. By analyzing the types and concentrations of dissolved gases, maintenance teams can:

• Identify Incipient Faults: Early detection of overheating, arcing, and partial discharges.
• Prevent Failures: Proactive maintenance reduces the risk of catastrophic transformer failures.
• Extend Transformer Life: Timely interventions enhance equipment longevity.
• Optimize Maintenance Costs: Focus resources on transformers that need attention.

Introducing the TOR-2 GlobeCore Dissolved Gas Analyzer

The TOR-2 by GlobeCore is a state-of-the-art dissolved gas analyzer designed for precise measurement of hydrogen and moisture content in transformer oil. Hydrogen is a key indicator of incipient faults, making the TOR-2 an essential tool for predictive maintenance programs.

Key Features of the TOR-2

• High Sensitivity Detection: Accurately measures low concentrations of hydrogen and moisture.
• Real-Time Analysis: Provides immediate results for prompt decision-making.
• User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive controls simplify operation and reduce training requirements.
