Product catalog summary
Overview
The Iris Power HydroTracII is a continuous on-line partial discharge (PD) monitoring system designed for hydro generators. It includes capacitive couplers, a dedicated monitor, and digital communications for data management. The system is cost-effective and automates PD measurement and trending.

Installation and Compatibility
Existing users with PDA coupler installations can easily integrate the HydroTracII monitor without requiring an outage. New users must install capacitive couplers during a machine outage. The system is compatible with previous PDA technology, allowing seamless data comparison.

Features
  • Advanced monitoring and analysis to prevent false indications by separating PD from electrical noise.
  • Filtering and pattern recognition for reliable detection of stator winding issues.
  • Compatibility with existing sensors for easy commissioning without additional outages.
  • Consistent testing intervals improve trend quality, with alarm features for high PD activity.
  • Remote diagnostics and configuration via Ethernet, with Modbus protocol for third-party interfacing.

Benefits of Continuous Monitoring
Continuous monitoring helps in automating measurements, integrating key parameters, triggering remote alarms, and maximizing PD data collection. It reduces testing costs and provides early warnings of potential issues.

Partial Discharge (PD) Explanation
PDs are small electrical sparks in stator windings, indicating insulation deterioration. Monitoring PD helps in predictive maintenance by providing early warnings of potential failures.

IRIS POWER HydroTracII Features BENEFITS OF CONTINUOUS MONITORING • Sophisticated monitoring and analysis system prevents false indications by digitally separating partial discharges from electrical noise, on a pulseby-pulse basis. • Proven filtering and pattern recognition enhances noise separation, allowing for a reliable and objective detection of stator winding problems such as poor impregnation, overheated windings, coil movement in the slot, ineffective or deteriorating grading/ semiconductive material problems, and contamination. Couplers installed on a hydro generator stator • The system’s...

IRIS POWER HydroTracII Options - Remote I/O over Ethernet CONNECTION WHAT IS PARTIAL DISCHARGE? • Remote inputs with up to 8 analog points proportional to operating conditions such as stator winding temperature, voltage, current, or power. These conditions are recorded for trending and analysis. Pulse Count Rate [pps] (log) • Remote outputs with 6 analog outputs proportional to the level of PD activity (+Qm and –Qm) of the machine couplers. This is applicable in situations where the user is interested in having the real-time PD activity from their machine acquired by their DCS or control system....
