It is filled with flammable oil and, without a break, can operate for up to a dozen years. This makes the probability of its failure, and thus fire and explosion, very high. The consequences of such a malfunction can be lamentable &#8211; extensive damage to the site, halting of production, multimillion-dollar losses or months of repairs. Not to mention the high risk to human health and life. Fortunately, there is effective protection on the market. The Sergi Transformer Protector is a state-of-the-art technology used to protect transformers of various capacities. Its effectiveness is confirmed by hundreds of protected plants and satisfied customers. The authorized distributor of <strong>Sergi TP<\/strong> in Poland is <strong>CORONA<\/strong> Serwis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<!--<a href=\"#\" class=\"btn btn__primary btn__block col-md-6 col-sm-12 mb-40\">\n<span>Zobacz PDF<\/span>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ml-2\" src=\"https:\/\/corona1.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/pdf.png\" alt=\"pdf\">\n<\/a>-->\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/corona1.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image_2020_04_29T09_23_13_965Z.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/corona1.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image_2020_04_29T09_23_13_965Z.jpg 900w, https:\/\/corona1.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image_2020_04_29T09_23_13_965Z-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/corona1.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image_2020_04_29T09_23_13_965Z-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/corona1.eu\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/image_2020_04_29T09_23_13_965Z-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Transformers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#e79400\">Safety-critical equipment<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Transformers are considered by corporate risk experts and insurance companies to be the most critical equipment found in plants.

SERGI conducted an intensive research program to learn and understand the physical phenomena that lead to transformer explosions. The result of this research was the invention, design and manufacture of the Transformer Protector (TP). Since the late 1990s, SERGI has been a world leader in transformer explosion and fire prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The Transformer Protector is a proven solution to prevent transformer fires and explosions resulting from a short circuit.The solution is based on the direct mechanical response of the Expansion Kit against the internal dynamic pressure of the vat caused by the electric arc. Once a short circuit occurs, the explosion is prevented by the rapid (milliseconds) expansion of the transformer through the immediate discharge of oil into an independent tank. The first dynamic pressure peak activates the TP before high static pressure is generated. The transformer is thus protected against explosion and fire. When TP protection is activated, a signal is sent to the Control Box. When a second signal is received from one of the transformer&#8217;s electrical protections, such as, Buchholz, sudden pressure build-up or ground fault, the TP Control Box initiates an alarm to manually or automatically activate the injection of nitrogen into the transformer vat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>The TP is a passive mechanical system that can be adapted to any oil-filled transformer above 1MVA and is designed to protect against explosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Since May 2016, <strong>Corona Serwis<\/strong> has partnered with SERGI Transformer Protector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<section id=\"videoBanner\" class=\"video-banner video-banner-layout2 bg-overlay\" style=\"background-image: url(\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/transformer_01.jpg);
