Which among the following safety devices are provided on the power transformers?
Marshalling kiosk
Vacuum gauge
Pressure relief gauge
All of these
All of these
Safety devices in power transformers are essential to monitor internal conditions, prevent catastrophic failures, and ensure personnel safety during maintenance or fault events. Marshalling kiosks, vacuum gauges, and pressure relief valves represent critical protection and monitoring layers for insulation integrity and structural safety.

Marshalling kiosks aggregate control and alarm signals for SCADA integration.
Pressure relief devices are required on all oil-filled transformers above a specific MVA rating.
Vacuum gauges ensure that the transformer remains hermetically sealed against atmospheric moisture.
Early detection of incipient faults
Prevents structural damage during high-pressure events
Centralized monitoring through the Marshalling Kiosk
Requires regular calibration and maintenance
Environmental exposure can degrade sensor accuracy over time
High Voltage Distribution Transformers
Power Grid Substation Transformers
Industrial Step-up/Step-down Transformers
A Buchholz relay is another critical safety device often wired to the marshalling kiosk.
Option B (Vacuum gauge) is crucial during installation and maintenance to verify tank airtightness.
D is correct тАФ All listed devices (Marshalling Kiosk, Vacuum Gauge, and Pressure Relief Gauge) are standard safety and monitoring components provided on industrial power transformers.
Always remember that transformer safety is categorized into mechanical relief (PRD), electrical monitoring (Relays), and structural integrity (Vacuum/Oil gauges).
