Insulation in a transformerDielectric OilCellulose (Paper)
Purpose of the insulation:– Dielectric Insulator– Thermal Transfer
When the insulation system is stressed, gases are produced and they will dissolve in the oil
Gas-in-Oil is a very good incipient fault indicator for main tank thermal faults

Silicon fluid
Mineral oil
Ester oils
Standard insulating and cooling fluid for most transformersRefined petroleum productNot biodegradable, flammableCan dissolve limited moisture
Natural esters are vegetable oil, synthetic versions availableMost common are Cargil FR3 (Natural), Midel 7131 (Synth)Biodegradable, operate at higher temperatures, non-flammableMuch better moisture properties, environmental advantage
Polydimethylsiloxane liquidVery stable, non-flammable, non-toxic but not biodegradableMoisture handling not as good as Esters but was cheaper in the pastMore and more a legacy product being displaced by esters

Advantages Limitations TargetsPrice: Esters are 2 to 3 times more costly than mineral oils todayRetrofits: An existing mineral oil transformer cannot be simply refilled with ester fluidInfrastructure: duplication of tanker fleets, oil handling equipment, oil storage facilities if an operator owns a mix of ester and mineral oil transformersAccessories: Bushings, Tap changers, monitoring equipment (particularly DGA) must all be ester oil versionsWeather: Ester oils perform poorly in cold subfreezing weather and are therefore only in limited use in northern countries
Critical installations where safety and reliability are concerns – synergy of Esters and monitoringInstallations near flammable materials where a fire might spread – refineries, factories …Sensitive environments where a mineral oil spill would be very bad or difficult to containVery humid environments where moisture can be an issue
Safety : Esters can run hotter and are less flammableMonitoring : With Ester capable DGA you get the best of both worlds in terms of safetyEnvironment: Esters are biodegradable vegetable oil, spills are mostly harmlessSustainability: Esters are a byproduct of agriculture; they are a renewable resource
For best safety and reliability Esters and monitoring go hand in hand
Why do we not see more esters?

Esters SiliconeWhile the principles of DGA will apply and you will have formation of hydrogen and light hydrocarbons the interpretation rules are different since the fluids in chemically quite different
The rules for DGA interpretation are found in
IEEE-Std.-C57.146-2005 : Gases generated in Silicone immersed transformers
Esters are more similar chemically to mineral oil, CH3 groups replace Hydrogen and some oxygen is included.The rules for DGA analysis can be found in

CoreSense™ – hydrogen & moisture sensor
No moving parts, no consumables
Robustness was a key design parameter during the product development process. We eliminated weak points such as the membrane that separates dissolved gas from oil and removed consumables. To ensure oil circulation we implemented a forced convection thermal pump with no moving parts.
Flag incipient faults
Hydrogen and moisture in oil are important indicators that can alert you to a developing condition. These indicators will not give you a precise diagnostic of the underlying condition, rather indication that something is happening in the transformer.

Capacitance measurement
OH
H
– Sensor measures capacitance using the transformer oil as a dielectric fluid– Any water mixed into the oil will change the dielectric constant of the oil resulting in a
capacitance change– The sensor also measures the temperature– The amount of dissolved water in µl/l (ppm) is a function of the oil type, the
temperature and the relative saturation of the oil. The relative saturation can be determined from the capacitance.

Moisture is measured in terms of relative saturationThe precision of the moisture sensor is 2% RSWhen comparing to lab results in ppm the type of fluid will have a huge impact on the error bars in ppm because of the different solubilities

CoreSense™ M10 – Multigas Dissolved Gas Analyzer
Easy installation right out of the boxWithout any external oil circulation loop, installation is as easy as mounting the measurement head on a valve and hanging the analytical unit on a wall, no need for welding or piping at site. This approach also greatly limits the likelihood of any oil leaks related to the DGA system installation
Lowest cost of ownership with no maintenance for 10 yearsWithout any need for carrier gases or calibration, CoreSense ™ M10 has double and triple redundancies built in to allow the user to use the device for at least 10 years without maintenance.
Space proven ABB FTIR technologyABB used a technology sold for over 25 years in different industries (including for NASA, the Canadian Space Agency, the European space agency and the Chinese Space Agency) and re-adapted it for transformer monitoring. Allowing CoreSense™ M10 to offer excellent measurement repeatability, no cross-interference between the gases and no calibration ever in the field.
Fast response with continuous sampling Oil is being sampled continuously with readouts every 10 minutes allowing for fast response times. A gas increase in a transformer can be detected in as little as 10 minutes and accurately quantified in under 2 hours.
