OPTICAL CHROMATIC TRANSFORMER OIL MONITORING (OCTOM) SYSTEM

OCTOM (Optical Chromatic Transformer Oil Monitoring) is based on a novel approach of combining multiple optical techniques and chromatic methodologies for monitoring the degradation of transformer oils. It functions by monitoring the condition of the mineral oil used for thermally cooling and electrically insulating active parts of a transformer.

TRL:

Power transformers rely on high-quality insulating oil to dissipate heat and provide electrical insulation. However, over time, this oil can become contaminated with moisture, particles, and other impurities, which can lead to a range of problems, including reduced dielectric strength, overheating, and even failures.



Key Features & Benefits


  • Gives preliminary indication of the oil condition using an electronic camera instead of a spectrometer-based system so providing a convenient and robust approach for onsite monitoring

  • Portable design for instant on-site assessment of the health of insulating transformer oil

  • Used as frequent and inexpensive pre-screening tests

  • Supported by comprehensive analysis using data analytic approach & mobile-based technology



Potential Applications


Complimentary onsite optical diagnostic test kit – reduce the need for further transformer oil laboratory tests on the healthy oil samples.
