With ECOSENSE® ACTIVE PART, Reinhausen now offers DGA sensors at attractive price scales in online sales.
Asset managers are faced with major tasks: Most transformers have passed their zenith and the average age of the global fleets is over 40 years so it is imperative to identify aging processes and avoid failures. After all, reliability counts more than ever today as increasing volatility due to the use of renewable energies meets a continuously growing demand for energy. Many networks and resources are already operating at their capacity limits.
Proven sensor technology
Increased security for transformer fleets is provided by online DGA (Dissolved Gas Analysis) sensors. While problems with the active part of the transformer are known to be responsible for almost half of all transformer failures, these can be detected and averted in time by using gas-in-oil analyses. “In many cases today, it is a matter of quickly setting up an infrastructure to monitor an outdated transformer fleet. We want to support asset managers in this regard and are therefore now offering our new DGA sensor ECOSENSE® ACTIVE PART at attractive price scales directly in online sales,” reports Oliver Reetz, who helped establish the new BUY-ONLINE-ONLY sales concept in the ECOSENSE® team at Reinhausen.
Network operators benefit from a sensor that has been tried and tested in many thousands of installations and is available worldwide at short notice and in large quantities with all the components required for installation. For the new ECOSENSE® sensor family, Reinhausen has reduced its proven DGA sensor to two equipment variants (80/50 DIN flange). The sensor supports the standard MODBUS RTU protocol so that installation and commissioning require no additional qualification and can be easily and quickly carried out by on-site technicians themselves. Only a voltage supply is required.
Service, sensors, support
“Simple and easy—that was our guiding principle for the development of the new sensors and the online sales concept. After all, we want to serve a mass market with high-quality and affordable products,” explains Oliver Reetz. In the next step, the ECOSENSE® team therefore plans to upgrade the new web platform with important service and support information, such as training and service videos.
