Description
The GE H201Ci-1 is a single-channel controller designed for real-time monitoring of dissolved gases in transformer oil, serving as a critical component of GE’s HYDRAN® 201i online monitoring system. This device integrates with the H201Ti intelligent transmitter to detect early signs of transformer faults by analyzing gas composition (e.g., hydrogen, carbon monoxide, ethylene, acetylene) in oil, enabling predictive maintenance and minimizing downtime in power generation, oil & gas, and industrial sectors 11112.
