GE Hydran 201Ti Continuous Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) Monitoring Equipment
The GE H201Ti (Hydran 201Ti) is a compact, continuous Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) monitor for transformer insulating oil, developed by GE Grid Solutions. As a cost-effective early-warning device (Mark IV version), it adopts fuel cell sensor technology to measure composite fault gases in real time, serving as the first line of defense for power transformers. It requires no pumps or extra piping, features easy single-valve installation, and is widely deployed globally with over 30,000 units in operation.

Key Functions
- Continuous DGA Monitoring: 100% responsive to hydrogen (H₂, general fault gas) and sensitive to carbon monoxide (CO, overheated paper), acetylene (C₂H₂, arcing), and ethylene (C₂H₄, overheated oil), covering all major transformer failure root causes.
- Early Fault Warning: Provides a single “Hydran gas value” (ppm) per IEEE C57.104, with two configurable alarm levels (warning/critical) based on gas concentration or rate-of-change.
- Maintenance-Free Operation: No moving parts, pumps, or on-site calibration required; dynamic oil sampling via a permeable membrane ensures long-term reliability.
- Local & Remote Connectivity: Features an LCD display for real-time ppm readings, 4–20 mA analog output, and isolated RS-485 digital communication (Modbus/Hydran protocols) for remote monitoring and trending.
- Robust Design: Compact, weatherproof enclosure with wide voltage input, suitable for harsh outdoor substation environments.
