   Episode 10: Transformer & Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS) UHF Partial Discharge – How to get the most out of your partial discharge monitoring system?

   In Episode 9, Qualitrol’s (https://www.qualitrolcorp.com/) Xpert Service team explains common pitfalls of partial discharge monitoring systems (https://www.qualitrolcorp.com/products/partial-discharge-monitors/) including real scenarios encountered in the field. Our experts discuss capturing major transformer faults with partial discharge monitoring, as well as how when contained partial discharge disturbances can give you a good picture into transformer health. Qualtirol's Xpert Services (https://www.qualitrolcorp.com/services/xpert-services/) discuss how to interpret partial discharge data and important questions to ask: do you have transformer operators on your team to analyze partial discharge, do you have the time and experience required to review partial discharge signals? With decades of experience, Qualitrol's team of experts interpret partial discharge data all day, everyday. We see signals from different countries, different voltage classes and can provide partial discharge reporting quickly. Since we are not equipment manufacturers, Qualitrol offers unbiased opinions on the questions you need answered.

   Qualitrol Episode 4: Upgrade Your Old Transformer Monitor to an Intelligent Transformer Monitor

   In Episode 4, Qualitrol discusses the retrofit process for replacing an old, outdated transformer monitor with an easy to install, intelligent transformer monitor like the Qualitrol 509 ITM (https://www.qualitrolcorp.com/products/transformer-monitors/intelligent-transformer-monitors/qualitrol-509-intelligent-transformer-monitor/). Adding a transformer monitor in your substation that can scale and add additional outputs is important. In addition to security concerns, substation maintenance engineers look for ease of install. We answer questions common questions from utility customers and get more in depth on how to retrofit an energized transformer with a new monitor in the field using a recent install in the United States.

    Qualitrol Episode 1: Sudden Pressure and Why it's Important to Monitor on Transformers

    In Episode 1, Qualitrol discusses what is sudden pressure in a transformer and why it is important to monitor on transformers. Within the transformer market, the terms 'sudden pressure' and 'rapid pressure' are used synonymous. In addition, we cover the features and benefits of using an electronic rapid pressure rise relay (https://www.qualitrolcorp.com/products/pressure-controls-gauges-and-relays/rapid-pressure-rise-relays/), as well as discuss the Qualitrol 930 (https://www.qualitrolcorp.com/products/pressure-controls-gauges-and-relays/rapid-pressure-rise-relays/qualitrol-930/). This rapid pressure rise relay device offers many benefits over the mechanical version and includes a built in seal-in relay (https://www.qualitrolcorp.com/products/pressure-controls-gauges-and-relays/pressure-accessories/qualitrol-909/) as opposed to other rapid pressure rise relays that require a separate seal-in relay. The Qualitrol 930 rapid pressure rise relay is capable of mounting to any retrofit or energized transformer, making the switch to the Qualitrol 930 seamless.
