Pressure Relief Valves And Devices
These Pressure Relief Devices are recommended to be used on all sizes of transformers ranging from distribution transformers to large power transformers. For very large power transformers, it is usual to use multiple devices. There is no general formula or standard to link the size of the device to the size of the tank. This parameter is decided by the transformer designer or as agreed upon with the end user. As a general practice, one device can be used for every 38,000 litres (10,000 US gallons) of cooling liquid.

Gas Actuated (Buchholz) relay
The magnetic switches consist of two thin reed contact blades hermetically sealed inside a glass capsule n an atmosphere of dry inert gas. the switches are operated by a permanent magnet. the operating principle of the magnetic switches is very simple: when a magnet approaches the switch, the reeds close the circuit and when the magnets moves away from the switch, the contact gets open.

- Conservator Protection (Gas) Relay / Aircel leakage detector
- A Gas collection device (GCD) is an accesory of Bucholz relays that is often used in large power transformers. It is connected to the Buchholz relay gas collection petcock, and is used to collect samples of gas and oil from the Bucholz relay easily from ground level. The color of collected gas is also very clearly visible in the GCD.
- SS pipes to connect the GCD to the Bucholz relays are also available.
Radiator Valves
The valve mainly consists of machined flange, flap, spindle and locking cap. The flap is machined to fit the bore. The spindle is riveted to the flap and can be rotated in either direction to operate the valve. The cap on top of spindle locks the valve in the open or closed position, which is indicated on the exposed plate marked open/shut.
Rapid Pressure Rise Relay
Rapid pressure rise relays are designed to respond to rates of pressure change above predetermined safe limits set by the transformer manufacturer.
The purpose of this device is to detect a fault in a transformer quickly, while the pressure is still increasing and before the destructive effects of overpressure triggers the pressure relief device. The RPRR switches a set of contacts to indicate that it has detected a fault.
The RPRR is designed not to respond to normal pressure variations caused by temperature variation, mechanical shock and vibration or pump surges.
