Hydrocal 1005

DGA Sensor 5 Outputs

Online gas-in-oil measurement sensor Hydrocal 1005, a system with 5 outputs for measuring:

  • H2 Hydrogen
  • CO Carbon Monoxide
  • C2H2 Acetylene
  • C2H4 Ethylene
  • H2O Moisture

Hydrocal 1005

The HYDROCAL 1005 is a permanently installed multi-gas-in-oil analysis system with transformer monitoring functions.

It individually measures the key gases dissolved in transformer oil, such as:

  • Hydrogen (H2)
  • Carbon Monoxide (CO)
  • Acetylene (C2H2)
  • Ethylene (C2H4

It additionally measures Moisture in Oil (H2O).

As Hydrogen (H2) is involved in nearly every fault of the insulation system of power transformers and Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a sign of involvement of the cellulosic / paper insulation, the presence and increase of Acetylene (C2H2) and Ethylene (C2H4) classifies the fault as overheating, partial discharge or high energy arcing.

The device can serve as a compact transformer monitoring system by the integration / connection of other sensors present on a transformer via its optional analog inputs:

  • 4 analog inputs 0/4 ... 20 mADC
  • 6 analog inputs 0/4 ... 20 mAAC +20% or 0 ... 80 VAC +20% (configurable by jumpers)

It is further equipped with digital outputs for the transmission of alerts or the execution of control functions (e.g. control of a cooling system of a transformer):

  • 5 digital relay outputs
  • 5 digital optocoupler outputs (Option)
Key Advantages

  • Installation on the operational transformer without any operational interruption
  • Advanced software (on the unit and via PC)
  • Maintenance-free system
  • Communication interfaces ETHERNET 10/100 Mbit/s (copper-wired / RJ 45 or fibre-optical / SC Duplex) and RS 485 to support MODBUS®RTU/ASCII, MODBUSÒTCP, DNP3 proprietary communication and IEC 61850 protocols
  • Optional 2G/3G modem with external adhesive antenna
  • Optional DNP3 serial modem for SCADA connection
  • Optional IEC 61850 modem for SCADA connection
  • Optional HV and LV bushing sensors for HV and LV bushing monitoring applications via communication interface
Transformer Monitoring Functions

The Hydrocal 1005 can be used as a complete monitoring system for the condition of the transformer. The main monitoring options are listed below:

Voltages & Currents
  • via voltage and current transformers / transducer
Temperature Monitoring
  • Bottom and top oil temperature, ambient temperature (via additional temperature sensors)
Cooling Stage / Tap Changer Position
  • e.g. via a current transducer
Free configuration
  • Analog inputs can be free allocated to any additional sensor
Further Calculations
  • Hot-Spot (acc. IEC 60076)
  • Loss-of-Life
  • Ageing Rate
HV & LV Bushing Monitoring Functions (option)

The Bushing Monitoring System simultaneously monitor’s the bushing leakage current of 2 three-phase groups of bushings. The Bushing Monitoring system incorporates three different measurement modes on each tested component to provide accurate Power Factor and Capacitance values to evaluate the condition of bushing insulation.

The measurement modes are:

  • Phase comparison: compares the power factor of a tested component with another tested component energised with the same phase voltage
  • Sum of three current tests: measures the imbalance current from the summation of A, B and C phase currents from three tested components such as the three HV or LV bushings on the transformer
  • Adjacent phase reference test: compares the power factor of the tested components with other phase components on the same equipment

The bushing sensors/adapters are connected to the capacitor taps designed for all bushings to allow measurement of the leakage current up to 140 mA. The adapters are designed for bushings with grounded and undergrounded capacitor taps. The adapter is designed to prevent voltage from developing on the equipment if the sensor is disconnected from the Bushing Monitoring System.      

Monitoring of high- and low voltage side

Different bushing sensor configurations are possible:

  • Monitoring of high voltage side
  • Monitoring of high- and low voltage side
  • Reference HV bushing from other transformers
  • Reference CCVT / CCPT

Configuration with 3, 6, 9 or 12  bushing sensors possible.
