MSENSE® DGA

Online-DGA-Monitoring of Power Transformers

Winding problems cause 45% of all transformer failures. The online oil analyzers of the MSENSE® DGA series ensure a measurably longer service life for your transformer. They continuously check for fault gases and moisture in the insulation medium, as well as a wide range of additional gases – depending on the device type. The MSENSE® DGA devices send you a timely warning in the event of electrical and thermal problems. The DGA 2/3 is the perfect early warning system for many transformers, the DGA 5/9 offers intensive monitoring for strategically important transformers with detailed fault classification.

According to international standards and experts in the field, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and moisture in the insulating oil of power transformers are the primary early indicators of potential thermal or electrical damage to the transformer (IEC 60475, IEC 60567, ASTM D 4057). In its “Guide for Transformer Maintenance” from 2011, for example, CIGRE pointed out that five of six frequently occurring problems can be detected quickly and affordably using dissolved gas analysis (DGA) during transformer operation. The MSENSE® DGA devices, optionally and in combination with ETOS®, provide fault classification on the basis of the following standards:

  • Duval
  • Doernenburg
  • Rogers
  • IEC 60599
  • IEEE C57.104

Classification is made possible by determining the concentration of carbon dioxide, acetylene, ethylene, methane, ethane and oxygen.

If desired, you can use the user-friendly MSET and MSET DGA parameterization software to change settings from the factory pre-sets. For example, you can adjust individual limit values and the number of measurements taken per day. Furthermore, based on the MSENSE® DGA 5 and MSENSE® DGA 9 device variants, MSET DGA offers the option of intensive monitoring and fault classification. Both solutions are included in the scope of delivery. MSET and MSET DGA present the measured data in a clear and understandable way and prepare trends graphically or exportable.

IN-DEPTH ONLINE MONITORING FOR IMPORTANT AND CRITICAL TRANSFORMERS

Scan the gas matrix for fault classification
DETECT ERRORS, MINIMIZE RISKS

45%

of all transformer failures are the result of winding problems. The oil analysis provides information on the conditions inside the transformer.
MSENSE® DGA is the intensive monitoring system for key and critical transformers.
No additional operating costs. Practice-oriented retrofit – even during operation.

Dga 2/3: monitoring of the primary indicators and detection of trends

Dga 2/3: monitoring of the primary indicators and detection of trends

  • The analysis of dissolved and free gases (DGA) is the only online diagnostic option for detecting and analyzing errors in electrical equipment filled with insulating oil. 
  • Fault gases such as hydrogen and carbon monoxide indicate errors in the windings.
  • Moisture indicates oil quality.
  • The MSENSE® DGA 2/3 early warning system can reliably detect gas and moisture trends in oil.

Dga 5/9: why should i perform an in-depth analysis of the gas matrix for important and critical transformers?
