Liquid Level Measurement
Accurate, Reliable Monitoring for Transformer Oil Levels
Maintaining the correct oil level in transformers and oil‑filled electrical equipment is essential for insulation integrity, cooling performance, and long‑term asset reliability.
Insulect supplies a comprehensive range of Liquid Level Measurement Devices from COMEM and Qualitrol, providing accurate, local and remote indication across a wide range of transformer designs and operating conditions.
These devices deliver continuous level indication and alarm functions, forming a critical part of transformer condition monitoring and protection systems.

What Are Liquid Level Measurement Devices?
Liquid level measurement devices monitor the oil level inside:
- Transformer conservators
- Main tanks
- Load tap changer compartments
- Other oil‑filled vessels
They typically use float‑based mechanical sensing or contactless measurement technologies to provide:
- Local visual indication
- Alarm and trip signaling via switches
- Analogue and digital outputs for remote monitoring
These devices ensure that oil level deviations caused by leaks, gas generation, or temperature effects are detected before damage occurs.
Application Overview
Liquid level measurement devices supplied by Insulect are used on:
- Power and distribution transformers
- Generator step‑up transformers
- Oil conservators with or without rubber bladders
- Load tap changers
- Reactors and auxiliary oil‑filled equipment
Solutions are available for small distribution units through to large power transformers, including indoor, outdoor, tropical, coastal, and offshore installations.
