How it works
How does Guardian Monitoring® keep your transformer reliable?
DETECT
Our transformer monitors work around the clock to provide you data that is accurate beyond industry standards.
ANALYZE
The monitor sends that data to your Transformer Dashboard® and to our engineering team. Any deviation from the norm is flagged for review.
DIAGNOSE
If we find an imminent threat to your system, we will contact you immediately. Expect clear options and no false alarms.
ACT
Armed with detailed data and insight from
SDMyers, you’ll know what steps to take
to keep your operation running with the
least amount of downtime possible.

IMMEDIATE ALERTS ON CRITICAL TRANSFORMER FAULTS
Guardian Monitoring® with G1
GASES DETECTED
HYDROGEN
Hydrogen accompanies most known transformer faults, which makes this single-gas monitor an excellent indicator of serious incipient faults.
If the monitor detects a significant spike in H2, we can determine the specifics of the fault with further on-site testing.

ACETYLENE
CARBON MONOXIDE
This five-gas monitor’s capability to detect methane, ethylene, and acetylene allows us to use industry-standard analytical tools to diagnose faults.
Carbon monoxide can indicate degradation of the paper insulation.
