The Value of On-Line Dissolved Gas Monitors

Profile

The Value of On-Line Dissoved Gas Monitoring 

Business Challenges

• Challenges
  • Uninterrupted power supply is the lifeblood of many steel processes
  • Tranformers are CRITICAL to the production cycle
• Solutions
  • Transformers need modern monitors and specialst support
  • On-line moniotring reduces the risk of sudden power loss and potentially catastophic failure

Best Practice

• Failure Rates 
  • Tradionally, overall transformers failure rates are quoted at 1 to 4 % (depending on application and geography); typical useful life is expected 40 years
  • EAF transformer failure rates have been quotes as high as 15% of operatign units (with 50% failure within 3 years); useful life s quotes as 7 to 10 years.
• Replacement
  • ​Inndustry practice is to have a 'sliding spare' . . . .  But where is it located and how long does it take to exchange ?
  • What criteria is used to decide when to replace it ?
