    Buchholz Relay: General Specifications

    Uploaded by

    Ramez Yassa
    The Buchholz relay is designed to detect faults in oil-filled transformers, capacitors, and reactors supplied with oil conservators. It can detect issues like short circuits, broken core bolts, overheating, and punctured bushings. The relay helps prevent damage from progressing by alerting to problems. It has a weatherproof aluminum casing, inspection windows to view oil levels, and electrical contacts to trigger alarms or shutoffs. The relay can withstand vibrations during normal operation.

    BUCHHOLZ RELAY

    General specifications

    The gas and oil actuated (Buchholz) relay is designed to


    detect faults as well to minimize the propagation of any
    damage which might occur within oil-filled transformers,
    capacitors and reactors supplied with oil conservator.

    The relay is therefore particularly effective in case of:


    Short - circuited core Short - circuits between
    laminations phases
    Broken-down core bolt Earth faults
    insulation
    Bad contacts Puncture of bushing insulators
    inside tank.
    Overheating of some part of
    the windings
    Furthermore the relay can prevent the development of conditions leading to a
    fault in the transformer, such as the falling of the oil level owing to leaks, or
    the ingress of air as a result of defects in the oil circulating system.

    Construction

    CASING : non porous INSULATION : 2000V 50Hz between


    weatherproof compact casting terminals and earth for a 60 secs.
    of light aluminium alloy painted. time

    COVER : non porous WORKING TEMPERATURE : oil


    weatherproof compact casting temperature range:-25/+100°C.
    of light aluminium alloy painted.
    On the cover are located: the VIBRATION TEST (in normal
    terminal box, the valve of operative conditions) :
