Enhanced Monitoring with Extended Sensor Life

When a transformer’s insulation system is overstressed, the oil and paper undergo chemical

degradation producing both hydro-carbon gases and moisture that dissolve into the insulating oil. This

increased ageing will shorten the transformer’s life, impact its reliability and in some cases can even

lead to catastrophic failures.

The Hydran M2-X is the next generation of the field-proven family of Hydran DGA monitoring solutions.

It provides continuous monitoring of gas and moisture levels to alert users of developing faults and

minimize the risk of unplanned outages. The M2-X builds on GE’s strong domain expertise to deliver an

optimized, low maintenance monitoring device with an extended sensor life.

Applications

Advanced, flexible and expandable DGA monitoring solution tailored for utility and industrial

transformers.

Easily integrates with Kelman multi-gas DGA devices and the Multilin 845 protection & control

relay to provide continuous synchronization of chemical and electrical measurements for enhanced

transformer monitoring

Features

Easily upgradeable in the field to accept analog signals and monitor other key transformer parameters

Computation of winding hot spot and other IEEE transformer models for enhanced diagnostics

of the transformer’s condition (depending on sensors installed)

Easy to install on a single existing transformer valve, often without an outage required

Integrated display and keypad for simplified local user interaction and data visualization

Built-in moisture sensor provides water in oil measurement, critical to identify paper degradation and leaking gaskets

Compatible with GE’s acclaimed Perception™ software to download, trend and analyse transformer health data

Applications

Medium to large sized transformers

Utility and industrial transformers

Transmission transformers

The Hydran M2-X is also available in a UL certified, HazLoc version (part number: M2-X-HZ)

for installation on transformers located in hazardous locations designated as Class I, Division 2

The Hydran sensors are available as a traditional Hydran composite gas (H2. CO, C2H2. C2H4) sensor or a discrete Hydrogen only (H2) sensor.

In addition, it tracks moisture in oil (reading in %RH and ppm) and is compatible with various transformer oil types

(standard mineral insulating oils and newer natural and synthetic ester based fluids).

Alarmas Configurables

• Una alarma es activada cuando se detecta un

nivel anormal de un gas de falla o humedad.

• Dos niveles de alarmas (Alerta y Alarma)

pueden ser configurados para mostrar la

severidad del aumento.

• También pueden ser configuradas alarmas en

valores desde tarjetas análogas opcionales o

desde modelos opcionales calculados del

transformador.

• Auto prueba automática cada 15 días que

activa la alarma de servicio si es detectada

alguna falla, incluyendo falla de alimentación,

válvula de aceite cerrada, necesidad de

reemplazo de sensor o batería

Comunicaciones

• Pantalla local LCD

• Amplio rango de comunicaciones con

protocolos digitales (Hydran, Modbus®, DNP 3.0)

a través de diferentes canales (RS-485. Modem,

Ethernet, Fibra Óptica) depende de la opción

seleccionada

• Salidas analógicas opcionales (4-20mA)

• 5 contactos secos de relés también disponibles

Monitorización De Activos

• Fácil de instalar permanentemente en una

válvula de aceite del transformador. No

requiere de tubería ni bombeo. Entradas para

otros sensores.

• El sensor de gas responde 100% ante el

Hidrógeno (gas de falla general) y es también

sensible al Monóxido de Carbono

(sobrecalentamiento del papel), Acetileno

(arqueo) y Etileno (sobrecalentamiento del

aceite) cubriendo así las principales causas de

fallas.

• El sensor de humedad mide agua en aceite,

resultado de la degradación del papel aislante

(produce CO + agua)

Beneficios Principales

• Medición continua de gases de falla + humedad en el aceite

• Pueden conectarse sensores adicionales (para carga, temperatura del aceite,…)

• Integrado, cálculo de modelos Matemáticos basados en el estándar IEEE

• Amplias opciones de comunicación

• Diseño probado con una muy amplia y global base instalada

Ahora aún mejor

Con la última versión Mark III, el monitor Hydran M2i ha sido completamente repotenciado con nuevas

tarjetas electrónicas y fuente de poder para hacerlo cumplir con RoHS, futuras mejoras se han hecho

ante la obsolescencia de algunos componentes o por experiencia adquirida por el uso en el tiempo.

• Sensor mejorado

• Fuente de poder para cualquier parte del mundo

• Capacidad para manejar hasta 4 tarjetas opcionales de entrada/salida

• Opción de comunicación interna de fibra óptica multimodo

• Compatibilidad con el aclamado software GE PerceptionTM, para poder descargar tendencias y

analizar datos, como lo hace con cualquier otro equipo de monitoreo AGD de GE

Descripción del producto

Los transformadores son un componente clave y costoso en la red eléctrica y tener conocimiento

sobre su condición de salud es algo esencial para tener una red confiable. Cuando el aislamiento de

un transformador es sometido a gran estrés, se producen gases que se disuelven en el aceite. El

Análisis de Gases Disueltos en aceite (AGD) es reconocido como el mejor indicador de una falla en

desarrollo.

El Hydran M2 es un equipo en línea que monitorea gases disueltos y humedad en el aceite que alerta

al personal sobre un desarrollo de falla en el transformador. Provee información clave sobre el

monitoreo y minimiza el riesgo de salidas de servicio no planificadas.

Conectando sensores adicionales (Ej: temperatura superior e inferior del tanque aceite, carga del

transformador o temperatura ambiente), se puede capturar información adicional para luego

correlacionarla con los valores del AGD y la humedad, obteniendo un análisis más profundo de la

condición del transformador.

Estos valiosos datos no pueden ser únicamente transmitidos usando la amplia gama de

comunicaciones disponibles para el M2. sino que pueden ser convertidos en información útil mediante

el cálculo de Modelos Matemáticos basado en el estándar  IEEE®  con la finalidad de proveer mayor

información sobre la condición del equipo.
