Continuous monitoring
Omicron's new Montrano online monitoring system is focused on assessing the dielectric health of power transformers under load. The system records changes in capacitance (C), dissipation/power factor (DF/PF), partial discharge (PD) and transient over-voltages. These are primary indicators of insulation breakdown, which can lead to dielectric failure in bushings and transformers.
The continuous monitoring of the dielectric state of bushing and transformer insulation is essential for managing transformer health. Such continuous online assessments ensure safe, reliable operation during the intended service life of transformers.
