SYSTEM FOR PREVENTING TRANSFORMER EXPLOSIONS


From the beginning of the year, Aplein Ingenieros has been sole distributor of TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR, the system manufactured by SERGI for preventing explosions in transformers. The human, economic, political and ecological consequences due to an explosion and fire in a transformer can be dramatic. Among them can be mentioned:

· death and bodily injury
· loss of electricity production and economic losses due to the quest for new energy sources
· replacement of the transformer and equipment in the substation or the power station that suffered the damage
· reduced productivity
· environmental pollution
· adverse publicity for the company in the media, with negative consequences for the investors.

With the transformer explosion prevention system TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR it is possible:

· to prevent the electrical equipment adjoining the transformer from exploding and catching fire - the danger is channelled away from the transformer
· to quickly repair the internal damage to the transformer
· to provide environmental protection in the event of an incident.



TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR is a passive mechanical protection system that can only be activated by the level of internal pressure in the transformer tank during short circuits. This guarantees a very high reliability since it is not possible to trigger it accidentally.

TRANSFORMER PROTECTOR can be easily adapted to any new or already installed transformer.
