  • Transformer management system and method
    Patent number: 6906630
    Abstract: A transformer management system and method involves using sensors to sense physical quantities associated with the operation of a transformer. Processing circuitry uses the sensed physical quantities to calculate values from mathematical models for representing behavior of the transformer. These calculated values are compared to threshold values and an output is generated based on the result of the comparison.

  • Apparatus for continuously determining volatile substances dissolved in insulating fluid
    Patent number: 6526805
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for continuously monitoring the operation of electrical equipment and preventing critical operational failures. The invention quantitatively determines the concentrations of gas and/or vapor (including water) components in an insulating fluid on a real time basis. An increase of one or more detected chemical components signifies an actual or potential electrical problem with the equipment. The preferred apparatus consists of a gas extractor, an infrared gas analysis instrument, and a gas diaphragm pump. Gas and water vapor components are extracted from the insulating fluid by permeating through a membrane in a gas extractor. The gas and/or vapor components are then brought into an infrared gas analyzer by the gas diaphragm pump. A quad detector in the analysis instrument identifies and determines the concentration of three specified gases and/or the vapor simultaneously.
