Integrated Safety Devices
One Compact Device for Complete Transformer Protection
Modern transformers require continuous monitoring of critical operating parameters to ensure reliability, safety, and long service life. COMEM Integrated Safety Devices (RIS2) combine multiple protection and monitoring functions into a single compact unit, reducing installation complexity while improving operational visibility.
Supplied by Insulect, the RIS2 enables operators to maintain constant control over pressure, temperature, oil level, and gassing using one integrated device, helping prevent failures and optimise maintenance planning.

Application Overview
COMEM RIS2 integrated safety devices are specifically designed for liquid‑filled distribution and small power transformers, where space, reliability, and environmental resistance are critical.
Typical applications include:
- Hermetically sealed transformers, with or without oil conservators
- Distribution and small power transformers in utility and industrial networks
- New transformer installations requiring compact, integrated protection
- Retrofit projects, replacing multiple discrete devices with a single unit
- Offshore and coastal installations, exposed to corrosion and UV radiation
- Tropical and harsh environments, with wide temperature variations
- Solar power applications, where compact design and reliability are essential
The rugged design and flexible configuration options ensure dependable performance across a wide range of operating conditions.
What We Solve For
Transformers are exposed to multiple stress factors, including internal pressure variations, rising oil temperature, oil level changes, and gas formation caused by developing faults. Traditionally, these parameters are monitored using separate devices, increasing complexity, wiring, and maintenance effort.
The RIS2 solves this challenge by integrating four critical monitoring and protection functions into one device, reducing installation space, simplifying maintenance, and improving overall transformer safety. Operators gain real‑time visibility of transformer health and can proactively plan maintenance before issues escalate into failures.
