Transformer Monitoring

Catch Transformer Problems Before They Disrupt Operations

We live in an era of growing demand for electricity, which makes understanding transformer health critical to reliably meeting customer demand and avoiding the small, but highly disruptive, chance of transformer explosions. Hydrogen is generated when significant issues like overheating, partial discharge and arcing occur in transformers. Continuous and realtime monitoring of hydrogen tracks and alerts operators to small problems before they become big problems. Hydrogen monitoring provides continuous real time data and is dramatically less expensive than installing multi-gas monitors. H2scan’s GRIDSCAN® 5000 hydrogen monitors are small form factor monitors that deliver very high accuracy and need no calibration or maintenance for 10 years or more. Find more information and resources about the urgent need for real-time hydrogen monitoring and how the GRIDSCAN 5000 can meet those needs.

GRIDSCAN® 6000 Multi-Sense Monitor

H2scan's GRIDSCAN 6000 breaks new ground in transformer monitoring, being the first in the market that combines four critical measurements; hydrogen, the first fault gas, moisture, pressure and temperature. The GRIDSCAN 6000 delivers continuous, real-time data, alerting asset managers to abnormal transformer conditions that may lead to catastrophic events. It delivers more capability than competitive monitors but at half the price. The AO2 provides local display functionality, supports external sensors such as load current and top oil temperature and also adds local alarming relay contacts. This helps operators correlate gassing with measurements that include load and transformer temperature.

AO2 Control Hub

Maximize local and remote transformer asset condition visibility with the AO2 Control Hub from H2scan. Designed to pair seamlessly with H2scan's GRIDSCAN 5000 or GRIDSCAN 6000 Transformer Gas sensors, the AO2 Controller adds to an already complete transformer monitoring system. The AO2 provides local display functionality, supports external sensors such as load current and top oil temperature and also adds local alarming relay contacts. This helps operators correlate gassing with measurements that include load and transformer temperature.

H2cloud Fleet Monitoring Platform

H2cloud is a powerful cloud-based platform providing centralized intelligence for monitoring and analyzing the health of transformer fleets. It seamlessly integrates data from H2scan's Sentinel line of wireless communicators, delivering cyber-secure real-time visibility into asset conditions across transformer fleets and delivering alerts of anomalies related to transformer health.

Sentinel PRO IoT Monitor

H2scan's Sentinel PRO IoT Monitor delivers best-in-class grid intelligence for transformer monitoring and protection. As part of a comprehensive package with H2scan's H2cloud platform, Sentinel PRO delivers state-of-the-art system visibility and data analytics toolkits to support a fleet-wide view of transformer health. It supports the modernization and protection of low-voltage distribution systems, including renewable energy platforms, long lines and large loads.

GRIDSCAN® 5000

The H2scan GRIDSCAN 5000 Hydrogen Sensor pairs a high performance ASIC to H2scan’s field-proven solid-state hydrogen sensor. This stand-alone sensor system has been designed to provide precision hydrogen measurement, at a lower cost for the high-volume OEM or utilities. No calibrations or maintenance is needed for up to 10 years, and the GRIDSCAN 5000 is the lowest cost by thousands to any other available hydrogen DGA system. H2scan is the only company in the industry that can state retail sales of over 15,000 sensor systems worldwide with no after sale calibrations performed since 2012.
