Monitoring Systems

MR monitoring system – know what's going on

 

More than 40 years in electronic voltage regulation and more than 10 years expertise in the monitoring field: With it, we can continuously develop and improve our monitoring systems.

Our monitoring solutions measure and evaluate the most important operating statuses of the transformer and its components. In doing so, of course, it meets all current standards. Digital or analog inputs can

be used to attach sensors. The operating status is shown locally and can moreover be communicated via common control system protocols to the control room. The perfect status check for your equipment.

Additionally, there is the option to expand our monitoring systems by adding automation tasks (for example, cooling system control or automatic voltage regulation). Commissioning on site is done quickly thanks to the TAPCON®-trol configuration software.

The TAPGUARD® line monitors MR on-load tap-changers. In this technology, we applied our expert knowledge acquired over four decades. The TRAFOGUARD® monitors tap changers and transformers.
