PPM Calculation for Transformer Oils

Traditionally, moisture in transformer oil is measured in ppm units. The

ppm output shows the average mass concentration of water in oil.

MMT318 and MMT317 have an option for ppm output, provided that

this has been selected when ordering the transmitter.

NOTE

Silicone based oils must use MMT318 / MMT317 with the Calculation

Model With Oil Specific Coefficients.
