with simple reason such as loss of oil due to leaks, air accumulation in relay chamber which
may be the absorbed air released by oil due to change in temperature etc. Rating of contacts :0.5 Amps. At 230 Volts AC or 220 Volts. DC.
Magnetic Oil Gauge

This is a dial type gauge, mounted directly on the conservator to indicate oil level. This is
supplied with low level alarm contacts (if asked for) and the electrical connections of which are
brought out to a terminal box of the oil gauge. Suitable alarm circuit may be connected to these
terminals. This oil gauge is not dispatched separately, but is mounted on the conservator, with
float arm adjusted to correct length.
Explosion Vent
Explosion vent is provided to give protection against the excessive pressure that may developed
inside the transformer due to internal fault. On specific requirement
the explosion vent is
provided with two diaphragms one at the bottom (near tank) and the other at the top. If excessive
pressure is developed in the tank, both diaphragms will rupture and oil in tanks will be thrown out
through the vent. One pressure equalizer pipe is provided between explosion vent and the
conservator to maintain equal pressure in the empty spaces of vent and conservator. In this
case oil level indicator is provided on the explosion vent to indicate rupture of bottom diaphragm.
