GE+HYDRAN M2

Description

The GE Hydran M2 DCS is a transformer monitoring device rather than a PLC module. It’s designed to monitor gas and moisture levels in transformers, providing crucial data for predictive maintenance and ensuring operational reliability. Here are the details you requested:

Product Name: GE Hydran M2 DCS (Dissolved Gas Analysis and Moisture Sensor)

Product Description: The GE Hydran M2 DCS is an advanced monitoring device used in transformers to analyze dissolved gases and moisture content. It continuously monitors and analyzes gases such as hydrogen, methane, ethane, ethylene, and acetylene, which are indicators of potential faults within the transformer. By detecting changes in gas levels, it provides early warning of developing faults, allowing for proactive maintenance and minimizing downtime.

Product Parameters and Specifications:

• Sensitivity: Detects gas levels down to very low concentrations, ensuring early detection of developing faults.
• Measurement: Monitors and measures dissolved gases including hydrogen (H2), methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), ethylene (C2H4), acetylene (C2H2), and moisture content.
• Communication: Interfaces with supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems via various communication protocols such as Modbus, DNP3, and IEC 61850, enabling seamless integration into existing infrastructure.
• Reliability: Designed for continuous operation in harsh environments typically found in substations and industrial settings.
• Alarm System: Provides configurable alarms and alerts based on user-defined thresholds, ensuring timely notification of potential issues.
• Data Analysis: Includes built-in software for analyzing historical data trends and generating reports to facilitate condition-based maintenance strategies.
• Mounting: Designed for easy integration into transformers through various mounting options, suitable for different transformer types and sizes.

Applications:

• Transformer monitoring in substations and industrial facilities.
• Preventive maintenance and early fault detection.
• Enhancing operational reliability and extending transformer lifespan.

The GE Hydran M2 DCS plays a critical role in asset management by providing actionable data that helps utilities and industries optimize maintenance practices, reduce operational costs, and improve overall reliability.
