Connects the selected online oil-gas monitoring system to station supervision.

## In plain English

### What this block does

Connects the selected online oil-gas monitoring system to station supervision.

### A simple example

In a substation transformer bay, a protection panel receives winding-current measurements and equipment alarm contacts. An operator can then distinguish an electrical protection operation from a cooling-system or physical-condition alarm. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Gas-monitor measurements and health” at the input and “Transformer condition data” at the output. Interpretation requires transformer condition assessment.

### What the drawings help you do

Start at the named input: Gas-monitor measurements and health. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing. Follow the named output: Transformer condition data. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.

### Terms

- Input: Gas-monitor measurements and health
- Output: Transformer condition data
- Application reference: An explanation of a named drawing function or circuit relationship; the project documents define the equipment and its connections.

## What it represents

Connects the selected online oil-gas monitoring system to station supervision. Transformer monitoring interfaces connect physical sensors and protection calculations to the station's alarms and trip logic. Temperature, oil, gas, pressure and electrical measurements indicate different conditions and require separate interpretation.

An operator can then distinguish an electrical protection operation from a cooling-system or physical-condition alarm. For this reference, the drawing identifies “Gas-monitor measurements and health” at the input and “Transformer condition data” at the output. Interpretation requires transformer condition assessment.
Identify the sensor or calculation, its monitored zone and its assigned response. Alarm and trip thresholds, sensor fitting and protection settings belong to the selected transformer documentation and the approved protection design. The functional block is an independent explanation of this named application. Equipment-specific ratings, terminal connections and operating conditions must be established in the project documentation.

## How to read it

- Start at the named input: Gas-monitor measurements and health. Identify its source device or document and the state represented on the drawing.
- Follow the named output: Transformer condition data. Cross-reference its destination and separate the command from confirmation that the equipment responded.
- Interpretation requires transformer condition assessment.
- Identify the sensor or calculation, its monitored zone and its assigned response. Alarm and trip thresholds, sensor fitting and protection settings belong to the selected transformer documentation and the approved protection design.

## Information to show or reference

- Label the source and connection reference for gas-monitor measurements and health.
- Identify the destination and defined state of transformer condition data.
- Record the equipment or control-document revision supporting this functional block.
- Check this application limit in the project design: Interpretation requires transformer condition assessment.

## Important distinction

Interpretation requires transformer condition assessment. This reference describes the named application; it does not establish a new IEC graphical symbol, an ANSI device-function number or an exact manufacturer connection diagram.
