Buchholz Relay is a component that uses the hot oil flow and hot air flow generated during faults in a transformer to drive the relay to operate. Therefore, it is a protective element of the transformer, which is installed in the pipeline between the transformer oil conservator and the oil tank, and is divided into light gas protection and heavy gas protection. A Gas Relay is installed on the transformer, and its main function is to protect the internal faults of the transformer. When there is slight (small) gas production inside the transformer, it can alarm. When there is a large fault inside the transformer (such as inter turn short circuit, insulation breakdown, etc.) that generates strong oil flow, the transformer can be quickly disconnected through the control circuit. In short, gas relays can effectively prevent accidents from expanding (not only used in transformers, but also in oil and gas storage tanks, which are commonly used in the chemical industry)
The gas relay is an important safety protection device on the Oil Immersed Transformer. It is installed on the joint pipe between the transformer tank cover and the oil conservator. Under the action of the gas or oil flow generated by the internal fault of the transformer, the signal or trip circuit is connected to enable the relevant devices to send alarm signals or remove the transformer from the power grid to protect the transformer.
