SOME SMART DEVICES/SYSTEMS
T154WS : The real black box of your tansformer
Free from any wiring, thanks to the RED CERTIFIED 2.4 Ghz Wi-Fi interface, the T154WS ED25 allows the user to monitor and record information on temperatures, events, alarms and systems anomalies remotely, thanks to the use of an Internet Browser!
The device – even if NOT CONFIGURED – starts to record data autonomously.

TRBH SYSTEM: The first patented system for the ventilation of cast-resin tranformers
The resin transformers for the distribution of electricity during their operation produce heat. The transformer by its constructional nature dissipates the heat in the surrounding environment by thermal convection. When the environmental and load conditions are critical, the natural circulation of the air is not sufficient to ensure adequate cooling of the machine. To overcome these drawbacks Tecsystem – in the 90s – presented ventilation systems equipped with a support for quick assembly on transformers. But traditional ventilation systems have little to do with the new opportunities offered by industry 4.0 due to connectivity limitations.
The TRBH system was born on the basis of a philosophy and experience that Tecsystem has been promoting for years: from the simple optimization of interventions to the more refined concept of predictive maintenance! All this is possible thanks to the data that the system is able to provide through ETHernet or RS485 communication.

TPL503 SYSTEM
The TPL503 SYSTEM (control unit BB211 + sensor TPL503) represents the Innovation for the protection of hermetically sealed oil transformers.
The classic electromechanical control devices are replaced by the electronic sensor TPL503 which, installed directly on the transformer, is able to monitor and transmit the detected TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE and LEVEL oil data to the BB211 control unit.
The BB211 control unit protects the transformer by means of appropriate alarm contacts and transmits the information to a remote center for PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE.
