As data centers, telecommunication providers, utilities and industrial facilities expand their reliance on standby power systems, the safety risk posed by hydrogen buildup in battery charging environments has become more urgent. Hydrogen gas can accumulate undetected when charging aqueous electrolyte batteries (including lead-acid and NiCad), creating serious safety concerns. Existing hydrogen detectors often fail to meet these safety challenges by drifting out of calibration, expiring or providing false readings that can result in operational disruptions or concealed hazardous conditions.

As aging transformers face increasing electrical and environmental stress across global power networks, traditional monitoring methods, such as periodic sampling, leave blind spots that can lead to unexpected failures. The timeframe for transformer replacements has skyrocketed and the consequences of downtime range from costly to catastrophic, creating an urgent need for reliable, actionable asset health data supplied by continuous monitoring to ensure high levels of reliability.

No utility wants a fiery transformer failure on a busy city sidewalk, or a large power outage that impacts whole city blocks. To reduce transformer failure risks, utilities traditionally use periodic manual oil sampling to assess asset health for these difficult-to-reach and potentially dangerous underground assets. H2scan (www.h2scan.com), a leader in transformer monitoring solutions, announced today its HY-VAULT™ system that provides utilities with a cost-effective continuous monitoring solution to improve the safety and security of the communities they serve.
