Pressure in the transformer is one of the key health parameters that predict early signs of decreased performance or an upcoming failure. Overpressure in the transformer tank can lead to an explosion and a hot oil spill in the surrounding environment.

Choose our pressure relief device for smart transformers type ePRD type e170SC, an evolution of our conventional pressure relief devices, to continuously monitor and keep the pressure in the transformer under control. It can discharge the overpressure to the exterior in milliseconds and reduce the risk of tank rupture.

The device is equipped with a digital interface for easy connection to smart grid applications and can be integrated into a system through a central control unit.

It is compatible with our complete eDevice family, can be connected also to third-party devices, and be part of our modular monitoring ecosystem for transformer diagnostics – MeDICA.
