Made in & for the USA

With ETOS® MD-IV Rein­hausen has devel­oped a dig­i­tal­iza­tion solu­tion for pow­er trans­form­ers tai­lored to the US mar­ket.


With the fourth gen­er­a­tion of the MD motor-dri­ve unit, cus­tomers now have the option of com­bin­ing the clas­sic dri­ve func­tion in a con­trol cab­i­net with ETOS® func­tions (Mon­i­tor­ing, Reg­u­la­tion & Con­trol). The addi­tion­al func­tions can be installed mod­u­lar­ly and cost-effec­tive­ly in the con­trol cab­i­net.

Six advantages at a glance:

Opti­miz­ing the oper­a­tion of the trans­former

Record­ing of all oper­at­ing data via a large num­ber of sen­sors

Eval­u­at­ing the con­di­tion and uti­liza­tion of the trans­former

Cost-effi­cient plan­ning of oper­a­tion and main­te­nance

Data and eval­u­a­tions are avail­able on-site at the trans­former or can be inte­grat­ed into a fleet mon­i­tor­ing sys­tem

Open, man­u­fac­tur­er-inde­pen­dent plat­form meets the high­est safe­ty stan­dards


Collecting condition data

With ETOS® tech­nol­o­gy, Rein­hausen has devel­oped an open sys­tem solu­tion for con­trol­ling and dig­i­tiz­ing pow­er trans­form­ers, which can be used to mon­i­tor the con­di­tion of equip­ment in real time.  How­ev­er, the poten­tial can only be ful­ly har­nessed with the data col­lec­tion by sen­sors. Rein­hausen offers a com­pre­hen­sive port­fo­lio of sen­sors and pro­tec­tive devices for pow­er trans­form­ers:

Standard sensors

The MESSKO® COMPACT, MESSKO® TRASY2, and MESSKO® BETECH series mea­sure oil and wind­ing tem­per­a­tures. The MESSKO® MTO and MESSKO® MMK oil lev­el indi­ca­tors are for mon­i­tor­ing the fill lev­el.

Intelligent sensors

The intel­li­gent MSENSE® sen­sor fam­i­ly from Rein­hausen not only records the val­ues required to mon­i­tor the trans­former. Thanks to algo­rithms devel­oped by Rein­hausen and with the help of arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence, they also pro­vide spe­cif­ic rec­om­men­da­tions for action, thus increas­ing oper­a­tional safe­ty. These rec­om­men­da­tions include mon­i­tor­ing of the bush­ings, deter­min­ing the gas con­tent in the oil, tem­per­a­ture mon­i­tor­ing of the wind­ing, and vibroa­coustic mea­sure­ment of the tap-chang­er.

Protective devices

Pro­tec­tive devices ensure trou­ble-free oper­a­tion and pro­vide impor­tant data. These include the main­te­nance-free MESSKO® MTRAB® breathers and the MESSKO® MSAFE® Buch­holz relay.


Status report and recommendations

The more sen­sors con­nect­ed to ETOS®, the bet­ter the eval­u­a­tions and rec­om­men­da­tions for action from the “Asset Intel­li­gence” func­tion sup­plied as stan­dard. This func­tion is used to inter­pret the data from the sen­sors and detect faulty trans­former con­di­tions. The sys­tem assess­es the prob­a­bil­i­ty and crit­i­cal­i­ty of the fault as well as the pos­si­ble con­se­quences for the trans­former and eval­u­ates the options for rec­ti­fy­ing the fault. With the new pack­age solu­tion, grid oper­a­tors have every­thing they need to ensure reli­able oper­a­tion.
