2.2 General information and operating principle

The generation of gas in an oil filled transformer is a clear indication of a problem. The gas may be a result of the following:
Decomposition/degradation either of solid or liquid insulation inside the transformer due to overheating, or arcing.
From external environment through bad pipeline sealing
From the oil itself due to unsatisfactory de-gassing operations prior filling transformer main tank
Fast and sudden oil movem ent in the pipeline towards the oil conservator is caused by an internal arc, short circuit, or hot spot which
must be correctly addressed.
Oil leaks from the transformer are environmentally unacceptable and a fire hazard will lead to transformer failure.
The Buchholz relay is located in the pipework between the transformer and its conservator and it is filled with oil during normal
transformer operation. When gas is generated in the transformer it rises towards the conservator and collects in the upper chamber of
the relay.
The oil level drops and the top float triggers alarm switch (oil level between 200 to 300 ml).
Gas shall not freely pass from the relay body and escape into the pipework before the alarm contact has operated.
The trip contact shall operate at a steady oil flow. This operation shall not be adversely affected when the alarm contact has already
closed and gas is escaping freely.
In the event of an oil leak the Buchholz relay will only operate after the conservator has exhausted all of its oil.

2.2.1 Adding features

COMEM's proven expertise led to develop a new eBR Electronic Buchholz Relay that noticeably improves the performances, reliability
and safety of your transformer thanks to advanced monitoring features.
The reed based standard electro-mechanical features, an electronic transducer and a dedicated PCB allow you to constantly monitor
the gas accumulation in the Buchholz relay by 4-20mA analog output or MODBUS RTU protocol.
The double flow vanes ensure the detection of two thresholds of oil flow speed. In particular, an alarm and a trip signal are
independently generated at two different values of oil flow (e.g. alarm at 1.5m/s and trip at 3m/s).
A based on the use of dedicated reed contacts for the detection of the oil flow thresholds provides the possibility to immediately and
remotely identify the trip causes (oil flow or oil leakage/gas accumulation) by means of 4-20mA analog output or MODBUS RTU
protocol.
As option there is the possibility to remotely control an electrical contact on the PCB in such a way to command the opening of valve for
the gas discharge.

2.2.2 Construction

eBR Electronic Buchholz Relay is built on a robust foundation which consists of a die casting aluminum main body with two tempered
glass inspection windows (1/A) with graduated scale markings (cubic centimeters) that indicates the oil volume passing through the
relay. The oil drain plug is located at the bottom of the main body (2/A).
The top cover holds the frame which contains the moving parts of the eBR: two floats (3/B) and their associated switch reeds and
magnets, two calibrated flow valves (4/B).
Also:

A gas discharge valve with G1/8 in male thread with protective cap (5/C)
A valve for pneumatically testing the alarm and insulation circuits, with protective cap (6/C)
A push rod for volume alarm mechanical verification of the reed switch with protective cap (7/C)
A push rod for trip mechanical verification of the reed switch with protective cap (8/C)
A terminal box (9/A)

Fig. D
The red arrow on the cover at the top of the relay should always point towards the oil conservator.
The eBR must initially be full of oil which means that the minimum oil level of the conservator must be higher than the discharge valve
on the top of the relay (5/C).
The recommended angle of inclination of the eBR pipework should be between 0 to 5 degrees. The pipe from the transformer to the
eBR must exit the transformer at the highest point, it must be straight and the recommended length to the relay should be 10 times the
internal diameter of the pipe (L1). The distance between the eBR and the conservator should be at least 3 times the internal diameter of
the pipe (L2).
Make sure that:
eBR must initially be full of oil which means that the minimum oil level of the conservator must be higher than the discharge valve
on the top of the relay (5/C).
Gases produced in the insulating liquid can flow unimpeded to the eBR
The red arrow on the eBR points to the conservator.
The flanges are stressed evenly when tightening the screws.
The slope of the pipe to the conservator is between 0 and 5.
The position of the eBR in relation to the direction of flow does not deviate from the perpendicular by more than 5.
The pipe has no elbows, and bends are designed preferably with an inside pipe radius R > 100 mm.
The free pipe length between the eBR and the tank should be at least 10 times the internal diameter
The free pipe length between the eBR and the oil conservator should be at least 3 times the internal diameter (Should the distance
exceed the above values, a support has to be provided in the immediate vicinity of the eBR).

CAUTION
Make sure during installation that no dirt, moisture or foreign matters get into the relay.
The insulating liquid of the transformer/reactor may not contain conductive materials!

4. Electrical Connection

CAUTION

Pull toward the higher position the test key (2/G) (check of
trip)
1

Verification of correct function from the control room

Push the test key (2/G) to re-arm the trip
Fit and tighten the higher cap nut

Damper functioning

eBR Electronic Buchholz Relay with the feature damper held in

response position are designed such that the damper after it was
operated due to an unacceptable high flow rate of the insulating liquid
is locked in its position and, hence is kept in this position even after the
flow rate has been reduced. This means that the signal generated is
Fig. G

CAUTION
For electronic Buchholz relays the damper und hence the lower switching system has to be unlocked after
the test by pushing the test key.

5.2 Pneumatic testing by pneumatic valve

This is performed by injecting air using a pump (furnished by COMEM on request as an accessory kit, causing the oil level inside the
eBR to drop down and actuate the alarm float.
Proceed as follows when using the kit:
Remove plug (2/H), screw valve (3/H) and relative nipple on relay valve (1/H)
Remove cap (4/H), insert pump (5/H) using the threaded connection and turn the lever to OFF, inject air as necessary to
activate internal mechanisms.
To restore the oil level and simultaneously bleed out internal air remove plug (7/H) and open ball cock (6/H).
After these procedures close cock (6/H) and plug (7/H), remove pump (5/H) and relative accessories (3/H) and (4/H) and
close valve (1/H) using plug (2/H).

Fig. H

6. What to do in the case of gas accumulation

In case of alarm, the gas should be checked immediately to determine the cause of the fault and avoid additional damages. To this end,
withdraw the gas from the eBR and analyze it. For gas sampling and transport it is recommended to use the Gas Sampling device
supplied by COMEM (see Annex C).

10

7. Operation and maintenance

The eBR Electronic Buchholz Relay is ready for immediate operation after installation, electrical connection and power supply.

7.1 Operation
It is possible to detect the gas accumulation in different way:
Checking the graduated windows
Checking the gas accumulation alarm signal
Continuously via analog output 4-20 mA
Continuously via digital output RS 485 (MODBUS RTU protocol)
It is possible to verify the dampers status:
Checking the alarm/trip signal
Via digital output RS 485 (MODBUS RTU protocol)
It is possible to activate a relay (optional, see annex B) to switch an external electrical petcock

7.2 Maintenance
The eBR Electronic Buchholz Relay is insensitive to ambient conditions, provided these conditions were considered when selecting the
particular design of the Buchholz relay. Therefore, no special maintenance is required during operation.
eBR should be inspected and tested at specified intervals as described in the maintenance instructions of the plant operator. COMEM
recommends performing the following checks:
Check the exterior condition of the device
To verify the contacts function following the chapter 5
Check the gaskets condition and if any leakage exists

7.3 Movement, transport and storage

The eBR storage must remain in the original packaging and in a dry place with temperature range between -10C to 40C.
Upon receiving the eBR, please check:
The outer surface of the packaging to check that it is intact
That there are no breakages to the packaging
If damages are found, please contact COMEM, providing the data given on the shipping list and the serial number of the eBR.

CAUTION
Not to paint the device. In this case any guarantees concerning the corrosion resistance decline.
Only mild soap and water should be used to clean the electrical box cover. Solvents must not be used for
any reason as they will degrade the performance of the paint. Use of solvents on the unit will immediately
void the warranty.

When you install the device please follow section 3, 4 and 5.
