The Kelman DGA 900 TAPTRANS is the next generation 9-gas on-line transformer multi gas DGA (Diagnostic Gas Analyzer) monitor. Built from the DGA 900 platform, the TAPTRANS extends the capability beyond measuring a single transformer main oil tank. Knowledge of the condition of transformers is essential for all electrical networks and on-line monitoring of transformers is an increasingly vital component of successful asset management programs. The comprehensive information provided by the Kelman™ DGA 900 TAPTRANS not only allows expensive failures to be avoided but enables asset capabilities to be maximized. The Kelman DGA 900 TAPTRANS is a patented designed specifically for transformers with an On-Load Tap Changer (OLTC), which is recognised as one of the most vulnerable parts of the transformer and which accounts for a large portion of unplanned outages. It offers discrete multigas on-line DGA and moisture monitoring, separating the main and selector tanks from the diverter tank to avoid any risk of contamination. Utilizing photo-acoustic spectroscopy (PAS) measurement technology, well suited to field application, it provides laboratory challenging levels of precision and repeatability. Full 9 gas oil sampling and analysis can be performed as often as every hour on a single tank and up to once every three hours if all three possible oil tanks are connected.
