InsuLogix H Hydrogen Monitor Brochure

InsuLogix® H HYDROGEN MONITORPROVIDING ACTIONABLE INFORMATION FOR YOUR FLUID FILLED ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENTInsuLogix® H Hydrogen MonitorWEIDMANN is proud to announce our new InsuLogix® H Hydrogen Monitor. A simple, but high-tech, online H2 monitor, it will provide a low cost solution to catch faults in your transformer, giving you the opportunity to stop major problems before they cause significant damage or costly repairs.WHY HYDROGEN?Hydrocarbon oils are used as insulating fluids in electrical equipment because of their high dielectric strength and chemical stability. Under normal operating conditions they are very stable. However, when a fault occurs, the oil insulation will undergo chemical degradation. The fault-induced breakdown products are low molecular weight gaseous compounds that are soluble in the oil.Quantitative analysis of the gases present in the oil allows identification of fault processes such as Partial Discharge, Overheating, and Arcing. Hydrogen is the key element for warning signs because hydrogen is produced in all fault conditions. The InsuLogix® H can protect your transformer by quickly and accurately warning you of these faults.SIMPLE AND ECONOMICALThe InsuLogix® H can be easily integrated with your transformer’s Management System, with standard installation performed in less than one hour. The InsuLogix® H comes with an optional customizable installation kit. WHY SHOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN AN ONLINE HYDROGEN MONITOR?Frequent analytical oil testing is a valuable asset. Especially as equipment ages, improved reliability for all your electrical equipment depends on condition-based decision-making. The InsuLogix® H is a key component of a condition-based maintenance program. PROVEN AND ACCURATE TECHNOLOGYThe InsuLogix® H Hydrogen Monitor incorporates patented micro-chip and coating technologies onto the palladium-nickel sensor, allowing it to directly contact the oil without membranes, filters, or other gas extraction means. It measures Hydrogen in oil or gas phases.PYROLYSIS (overheating)Low temperature Hydrogen, Methane, EthaneHigh temperature Hydrogen, Ethylene, Methane, EthanePARTIAL DISCHARGEHydrogenARCINGHydrogen, Acetylene, Methane, Ethane, EthyleneWEIDMANN DIAGNOSTIC SOLUTIONS INC.One Gordon Mills Way, PO Box 799, St. Johnsbury, VT 05819-0799, USAT +800 242 6748, +802 748 8106, F +802 748 8630, www.weidmann-electrical.comA Member of the WICOR GroupSource referenceInsuLogix® H SpecificationsMeasurement Range (H2) 25 – 5,000 ppmAccuracy (H2) 20% of reading or 25 ppm, whichever is greaterRepeatability (H2) 10% of reading or 15 ppm, whichever is greaterResponse Time (H2) < 60 minutes (50% of step change)Operating Temperature (Ambient) -40°C +55°CStorage Temperature -40°C +85°COil Temperature Range -40°C + 105°CData Storage (Flash Memory) 1 year at one hour testing intervalsCross-sensitivity to Other Gases (CO2, C2H2, C2H4, CO, etc.) < 2%Relays Three relays: two user configurable; one for self test relays are isolated: 3A, 240V contacts; individual NO & NC with one commonAnalog Output 1 x 4-20 mASerial Output and Protocol RS232, RS485, MODBUS, DNP3Expected life > 10 yearsInstallation Compression fitting, on an existing valve, 3/4” or largerWeight, Dimensions 1.3 kg (2.8 lbs), l 15.88 cm x w 11.75 cm x h 7.94 cm (l 6.25” x w 4.625” x h 3.125”) Power 24V DC nominal (15 to 28V DC) – 30W Max or VAC PSU (110VAC-240VAC)Warranty Two yearsStandards EMI/EMC: IEEE STD C37.90.1, EN 55022/FCC PART 15 & EN 55024/EN 610004; IEC 60068-2-6; IP67 (IEC 60529), NEMA 6; CE Mark (IEC 61000)BENEFITS• Quickly detects and alerts rising hydrogen levels• Responds to utilities’ demand for an economically priced H2 monitor• Easy field installation, low maintenance, and durability mean the lowest total ownership cost for fault gas monitoring• Simple set-up and operation• Low total cost of ownership allows for mass deploymentFEATURES• Micro-chip technology using palladium-nickel alloy • Advanced proprietary coating • Robust and tested technology platform• Maintenance-free, no consumables, no moving parts• No membranes or filters• 4-20mA output, three alarm relays, serial communication, MODBUS, data recording, DNP3 Rev. 1.13
