The new HYDROCAL 1006 genX is the first truly maintenance-free multi-gas online DGA solution combining proven near infrared (NIR) measuring technology with vacuum protected membrane extraction.
As Hydrogen (H2) is involved in nearly every fault of the insulation system of power transformers and Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a sign of an involvement of the cellulosic / paper isolation the presence and increase of Acetylene (C2H2) further classifies the nature of a fault as overheating, partial discharge or high energy arcing.
The additional measurement of Ethylene (C2H4) and Methane (CH4) serves for further analysis, e.g. Duval triangle according IEC 60599.
