Monitoring Solutions, Smartdga

LumaSense Technologies offers SmartDGA® Monitoring Solutions. Features: identify potential faults prior to failures and reduce unplanned outages and associated cost; reduce the number and frequency of LTC maintenance cycles, thereby increasing uptime and maximum efficiency of the LTC; proactively investigate premature aging or the cause of faults of a transformer. The SmartDGA family of instruments is the industry's most cost effective dissolved gas analysis (DGA) solution, designed to be the most flexible and to provide the best user experience available. Each model has been designed using state-of-the-art non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology. The continuous online DGA values reported by the SmartDGA instrument quickly identify potential fault conditions through monitoring of key gas levels, rates, and ratios. Each SmartDGA package includes the instrument, mounting hardware, connection cable, the SmartDGA EZHubTM unit, and SmartDGA viewer software. SmartDGA GaugeTM is the industry's first dedicated online load tap changer (LTC) condition monitor. The gauge measures and records methane, acetylene, and ethylene plus moisture to assess LTC health. SmartDGA GuardTM provides a cost effective early warning monitoring system of potential, transformer failures. The guard measures and records hydrogen, acetylene, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide plus moisture to provide an early diagnostics tool. SmartDGA GuideTM provides comprehensive online DGA results that enable diagnostic techniques. The guide measures and reports nine (9) DGA gases plus moisture in an instrument that vastly reduces total cost of ownership of an on-line monitoring system. Key functional features: versatile mounting configurations – including single and dual valve mount; inline mounting is available for LTC filter system or non-valve mounting for a transformer; extremely cost effective-total cost of ownership is a fraction of the cost of other instruments and installation can be accomplished in just hours; no consumables, carrier gases, or scheduled calibration required; sunlight visible indicators for caution, warning, and alarm conditions; status relay notification and corrective action triggering to ensure optimal system operations; packages available for LTC monitoring with specific interfaces for common LTC filter models; SmartDGA gauge monitors and displays gases for duval triangle 2 for LTC; and communications supported via all major protocols common in the electric power industry such as Modbus RTU, DNP 3.0, and IEC 61850 with the optional iCore.
