Trafag AG, a manufacturer of high-accuracy measurement devices, has launched the 8719 Gas Density Monitor, designed to revolutionize gas insulated switchgear monitoring in the renewable energy industry. This device addresses the unique challenges of maintaining operational safety and efficiency in diverse renewable energy environments.
The 8719 Gas Density Monitor sets a new standard in insulating gas monitoring with its large 75mm dial, providing easier needle position readability for technicians working on renewable energy installations and reducing maintenance time. This feature enables monitoring of exact gas density levels. The monitor offers up to five galvanically separated circuits, allowing for independent monitoring of multiple density levels and enhanced alarm capabilities, crucial for complex renewable energy systems such as offshore wind turbines.
The device is engineered for reliability, delivering precise switching output across all temperature ranges and ensuring alarm triggering regardless of environmental conditions.
The 8719 Gas Density Monitor offers installation options of IP65/IP67 protection, it is suitable for both outdoor and indoor applications. This flexibility allows renewable energy providers to install the monitor across a range of locations, from solar farms to offshore wind turbines, ensuring consistent monitoring across diverse environments.
The 8719 Gas Density Monitor’s maintenance-free design reduces operational costs and downtime for renewable energy providers, while its shock resistance up to 70g ensures reliable operation in harsh environments typical of wind farms and remote solar installations.
The optional integrated test/refill valves facilitate easy on-site maintenance, minimizing disruption to renewable energy production. This feature is particularly valuable for remote installations where frequent maintenance visits can be costly and time-consuming.
The device’s gas density reference chamber principle offers the most reliable monitoring solution for insulating gas density, crucial for maintaining the integrity of power transmission from renewable sources. The floating change-over contact (SPDT) output signal provides switching output for alarm systems, enhancing safety in renewable energy facilities.
