Monitor for power transformers
15 May 2018
Vaisala’s OptimusTM OPT100 DGA monitor for critical power transformers assesses transformer oil for the presence of moisture and seven different gases. By tracking real-time levels of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, ethylene and acetylene, the OPT 100 gives asset owners an understanding of the condition and health of a transformer, enabling them to make informed, proactive maintenance decisions.
The infrared sensor technology used in the Optimus has been developed in-house by Vaisala, benefitting from decades of industrial measurement expertise.
In addition, the Optimus DGA monitor’s installation process is simple, and the unit is designed and delivered to enable asset owners to install and bring the device online independently and quickly. Once installed the device delivers reliable results in real-time through a browser-based user interface.
