Medium Pressure Relief Device (MPRD) is designed for over-pressure conditions on oil filled transformers, load tap changers, and other related electrical apparatus.
Uniquely designed tip/side gasket that seals under repeated operations
Up to 2 switches for alarm and control
Integrated gas bleed system
Compact protection of personnel and equipment
Stainless steel shield mounted on top of device redirects flow of hot oil and gas away from personnel or critical parts on the transformer
Mesh flow opening allows for the quick pressure relief, protecting your equipment while limiting the possibility of debris entering the device
