INTRODUCTION

Product Overview
The Kelman
™
DGA 900 (the product) is a multigas online DGA (Dissolved Gas Analysis) and
moisture monitoring system for implementing Asset Performance Management (APM)
across electrical generation, transmission, distribution and industrial applications.
The product as shown in Figure 1-1 can detect and diagnose incipient faults and trend
asset health via the monitoring of critical gases including moisture in the transformer oil.
This includes any mineral oil or ester-based fluid (natural or synthetic). The product
measures nine certified fault gases:
hydrogen
,
methane
,
ethane
,
ethylene
,
carbon
monoxide
,
carbon
dioxide
,
acetylene
,
oxygen
,
nitrogen
as well as water content and the
transformer load current. Such data provides insight on transformer condition criteria,
such as developing faults, paper degradation and electrical arcing.
Once installed, operation is intuitive and programmable. The product can be managed
remotely over a network via a web-based interface or locally via a touchscreen interface.
All results are stored within the product, but
online management is recommended
. Results
and the full product database can also be downloaded to a PC for analysis, aggregation and
trending with the Perception software suite.

The product features:
▪
An innovative two-enclosure design connecting the two modules by a Power,
Communications and Control (PCC) cable for a more flexible installation configuration.
The Analysis module contains the PGA measurement technology, whereas the Hub
module contains the communications technology and HMI screen. The modules have
IP56-rated aluminium enclosures (compliant in the installed upright position) and are
powder coated to the RAL 9002 colour.
▪
Automated headspace gas extraction manifold to extract target gases from the oil
sample.
