Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) for Power Transformers Vaisala's real-time online DGA monitors help mitigate the risks and safeguard the power industry's critical assets. DOWNLOAD THE WHITE PAPER Gas monitors for Dissolved Gas Analysis Utilities and industrial clients can now safely increase equipment performance, prolong lifespans, plan for timely maintenance, and prevent unexpected outages. Dissolved gases appearing in transformer oil indicate a fault, while the rate of change in gas concentrations is used to determine the severity of the fault. A multi-gas DGA monitor, like the Optimus DGA monitor, is your best choice for critical transformers, as it provides a comprehensive understanding of the transformer's condition. On the other hand, a single-gas monitor, such as the MHT410, can be used as a simple early warning indicator. Total gas pressure Maximize your power transformer's operational lifeTotal gas pressure is a groundbreaking method for detecting air leaks into your transformer. It's a robust, reliable, and intuitive method to ensure your transformer is still sealed against ambient air and its oxygen.Oxygen will prematurely age and weaken the paper in your transformer's windings, potentially shortening your transformer's operational life by years. Total gas pressure is the answer. And comes as standard in the Vaisala Optimus™️ OPT100 online DGA monitor.Click to learn more Maintenance-Free Total Cost Savings with the Optimus™️ DGA Online Monitor You get maintenance-free monitoring with the Vaisala Optimus™ DGA – no consumables, mechanicals or need for calibration. Compared to traditional DGA monitors, the Optimus offers real-time monitoring with no false alarms, no maintenance – and no extra lifetime costs. By providing reliable trend data in real time and without false alarms, Vaisala DGA Monitors help you detect upstream problems. Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) product highlights Optimus™ DGA Monitor OPT100 Ensure your power transformer stays operational longer. OPT100 brings unmatched long-term stability, reliability and measurement performance for detecting the formation of fault gases. Moisture, Hydrogen and Temperature Transmitter MHT410 The MHT410 works in-situ, measuring directly from your transformer insulation liquid. Your gain? Reliable hydrogen trend reading as well as fast moisture data. Moisture in oil probe MMP8 Smart and robust. That’s Vaisala MMP8. Powered by the Vaisala HUMICAP® sensor technology, it has become a virtual standard in its field. Multiparameter Transmitter DPT145 Our uniquely capable Multiparameter Transmitter for SF6 gas opens for you the world of online measurement of dew point, pressure, and temperature. It also calculates four other values, including SF6 density.
