The MESSKO® MTO oil level indicators are not only available in numerous variants, they can also be digitized, and they have now been installed at the Korbach substation.
The energy transition is also leaving its mark on medium and low voltage grid operators, making modernization imperative. The operator Energie Waldeck-Frankenberg GmbH (EWF) is demonstrating at its Korbach substation how a great deal can be achieved using targeted measures.
The TESSA® FLEETSCAN 2D digital consulting approach has already been established there, and sensors such as temperature indicators and the maintenance-free dehydrating breather MESSKO® MTRAB® have been installed. “I’ve known MR for decades. They are a reliable partner that we enjoy working with,” says Armin Engelhardt, Head of Purchasing at EWF. This time, MTO oil level indicators have been installed to replace the previous indicators.
The MTO series is available with various features such as optional switching contacts, two different types of float drive (radial or axial), up to three microswitches, and four additional relays. Its most important highlight: the analog and digital remote transmission of the oil level to control cabinets, monitoring systems such as ETOS® or the control room.
Korbach is thus equipped for the gradual digitalization of existing assets as well, thereby extending the service life of its transformers.
Small indicator for big tasks
The oil level indicators of the MESSKO® MTO series are measuring devices with or without switching contacts. They are especially well suited for fill level measurements in transformer oil conservators. In Korbach, they complement the existing modernisation measures.
