H2scan Gridscan™ Gen5 Cost Effective Solution for Instrument Transformers
H2scan’s Gridscan Gen5 hydrogen sensing product has already changed the economics of hydrogen monitoring on distribution transformers. So why not use the Gridscan Gen5 to provide highly accurate hydrogen sensing for instrument transformers? At least one forward-thinking utility has invited the H2scan team to discuss the increased safety of monitoring their oil-filled 230kV instrument transformers.
Gridscan Gen5 is based on an H2scan-developed ASIC that reduces the cost of the product dramatically. Combined with H2scan’s automated sensor calibration that shortens the time needed for initial manufacturing calibration, the Gridscan Gen5 is cost-effective for a much wider range of transformers.
In all oil-filled transformers, rising hydrogen levels mean the oil is breaking down and that could lead to overheating, fires or explosions. The use of the Gridscan Gen5 for these applications gives utilities constant input on hydrogen levels so they can react quickly when hydrogen levels rise.
