SDMyers and Camlin Bring Multi-Gas Remote Monitoring Technology to the U.S. Industrial Market
Overview
SDMyers has announced a new working relationship with Camlin Power, bringing 5- and 9-gas remote monitoring technology to North American industrial customers through the Guardian Monitoring® Service.
A New Partnership for Advanced Transformer Monitoring
SDMyers, a transformer management and testing company, has announced a new working relationship with Camlin, a manufacturer of remote transformer monitoring equipment. The partnership will bring the latest 5- and 9-gas monitoring technology to the North American industrial market.
SDMyers will offer the expanded range of monitoring equipment to customers as part of its existing Guardian Monitoring® Service. Since its inception, Guardian Monitoring has consisted of single-gas monitoring systems that alert SDMyers’ transformer specialists when a serious fault is detected in a customer’s transformer. The new offering extends that capability to multi-gas dissolved gas analysis (DGA).
Expanded Options for a More Complete Picture of Transformer Health
The expanded offering allows new and existing customers to benefit from the combined expertise of both companies. Customers will continue to receive expert review of test results, alarm management, and trend analysis from SDMyers—now with the option for more precise and complete DGA monitoring through Camlin’s 5- and 9-gas systems.
“Camlin offers the five-gas and nine-gas monitors, which both provide added data that you can’t get from a single-gas monitor. Couple that with the data being sent to Transformer Dashboard—the company’s web-based transformer management tool—and you really start to get the full picture of the health of your transformer.” — Hali Moleski, Manager of Engineered Products, SDMyers
Camlin has developed a range of transformer monitoring tools for the global energy market, including online multi-gas DGA, bushing monitors, and partial discharge monitoring systems. Wesley Suplit, Product Development Manager at SDMyers, notes that bringing Camlin’s utility-grade equipment to SDMyers customers enables a more nuanced approach to remote monitoring—one that accounts for the variation in criticality across a customer’s transformer fleet.
“When you apply DGA monitoring to transformers, you want to do it on a transformer-by-transformer basis. The criticality of each piece of equipment is different, and our customers want to put a higher level of resources and energy into higher-criticality equipment. Our partnership with Camlin now gives them that option.” — Wesley Suplit, Product Development Manager, SDMyers
Single-Gas Monitors Remain Part of the Solution
The addition of 5- and 9-gas monitors does not eliminate the role of single-gas systems. Single-gas monitors remain a practical option for many applications—they are simpler to install and operate, and are a less expensive alternative for lower-criticality equipment.
Expert Analysis: The SDMyers Difference
“There are other companies out there that offer data packages, but that data is looked at by algorithms. The difference with us is that we have experts look at the data.” — Hali Moleski, Manager of Engineered Products, SDMyers
The relationship with Camlin gives SDMyers customers access to more sophisticated hardware while preserving the analytical expertise of the Guardian Monitoring team—providing a clearer, more complete picture of transformer health backed by human insight.
SDMyers is already fulfilling orders for the new 5- and 9-gas monitors. The full range of equipment and services is available to new and existing SDMyers customers throughout the United States.
