InsulMax®

The substation-grade oil purification system for your most critical assets

InsulMax® is a substation-grade oil purification system that protects the transformer by continuously addressing the conditions that accelerate insulation aging. If you’re specifying, installing, or commissioning a new transformer (or replacing a critical unit), don’t wait for moisture to become an end-of-life problem. 

Quick Features List:  

  • Continuous Moisture Control
  • Hydrogen Gas Monitoring
  • Remote Reporting to Transformer Dashboard®
  • Patented green technology and recyclable drying media

InsulMax® by SDMyers

SDMyers’ patented oil purification system and passive dryer technology are a preventive, always-on approach that controls transformer aging factors and monitors hydrogen gas levels. The result is extended asset life, reliable operation, and peace of mind. 

  • Manages moisture to keep insulation dry and stable.
  • Reduces oxidation drivers and limits acid and byproducts as they form. 
  • Removes particles that degrade dielectric performance.
  • Adds fault-awareness via hydrogen gas sensing for early detection.
  • Reports data remotely for dashboard trending and status alerts.
Features

01

Protect your transformer from day one

When specified at commissioning, InsulMax® keeps transformers moisture-managed from day one. This effectively lowers the lifecycle risk and reduces future remediation needs with a moisture and oxidation management plan built into your most critical assets.

02

Continuous moisture control with patented green technology

InsulMax continuously conditions transformer oil using recyclable filtering media — our patented green technology — to help maintain stable moisture levels over time. A built-in monitor tracks moisture in percent saturation and ppm, giving you clear visibility into the transformer's moisture status while the system runs.

03

Built-in hydrogen sensor warning layer

InsulMax includes an integrated hydrogen sensor that provides early warning of developing transformer issues. Hydrogen levels are monitored as part of the system’s condition data and can trigger alarms and notifications, helping your team spot changes sooner and respond with confidence.

04

Remote monitoring and alerts

InsulMax provides key operating and condition data — bottom oil temperature, moisture, pump pressure, hydrogen level, run status, and alarms — with notification options by email or phone. Remote monitoring and control are supported through a wireless cellular connection.
