Description
Product Overview
The GE HYDRAN 201TI is a cutting-edge dissolved gas-in-oil analyzer (DGA) engineered for continuous, real-time monitoring of power transformers. As part of GE’s HYDRAN® 201i series, this intelligent transmitter employs patented fuel cell technology to detect dissolved gases (hydrogen, carbon monoxide, acetylene, ethylene) in transformer oil, providing early warnings of thermal or electrical faults 7. Permanently installed on the transformer, the GE HYDRAN 201TI delivers actionable data to support predictive maintenance strategies, minimizing unplanned outages in power generation, oil & gas, and industrial sectors.
