MESSKO® MPreC® –
SOMETHING YOU CAN RELY ON.
MESSKO® MPreC® are pressure relief devices for transformers and tap changers – in
Messko’s reputable high quality. Our objective has to improve and expand existing
functions. Demands on transformer equipment are rising steadily. As operating times
increase, reliable monitoring equipment becomes essential.
If the maximum permissible opening pressure in the tap changer or transformer pressure
relief device is exceeded, the cover lifts and the device opens – within milliseconds.
When the pressure falls back below the opening pressure, the device closes once again.
Subsequently, the self-engaging signal pin just has to be pressed back into its normal
position. The optional signalling contacts are also reset.
It pays to be precise
Stringent quality testing is an integral part of the assembly
process with regard to the protection area of the transformer
and tap changers: Each device is checked for leaks using helium.
In addition, the „sealing” and „release” functions are inspected
on Messko‘s fully automated test bench. At the site of the final
inspection, multiple activation testing is performed. The response
characte-ristic curve – at the time of delivery and according to
the values specified by the customer – is recorded. These data Computer-controlled pressure test
are accessible for each device sold even after a period of years. Each device that leaves our production line has its
own „history”. At the start of each and every assembly
procedure, it is subjected to a helium leakage test.
Even more safety with the mobile MESSKO® MPreC® – mounted on an on-load tap-changer
MESSKO® MPreC® test bench
Messko GmbH developed the mobile MESSKO® MPreC® test
bench as an additional safety package during the commissioning,
inspection and maintenance of pressure relief valves. Weighing
approx. 50 kg [110 lb], it is portable and can be used in the
laboratory, in the test bay and also during commissioning and
maintenance procedures. The test bench tests and logs the
accuracy and functional safety of pressure relief devices on
oil-filled transformers in the disassembled state.
