AE-150 - PD & Hot Spots Detection and Localization System for Power Transformers
1 / 2Pages

AE-150 PD & Hot Spots Detection and Localization System for Power Transformers The AE-150 is designed to detect and localize Partial Discharge activity by correlating acoustic and electric sensors’ data. The AE-150 has many acquisition modes, each used for detecting and locating Partial Discharge activity in a transformer. The AE-150 unit is mounted on the transformer tank using its powerful magnets that also hold four acoustic sensors. Acquired data is sent to Mirador-Tx software where all advanced positioning functions are implemented. This cutting edge software allows easy data interpretation and reporting. ADVANTAGES Easy to install and use Portable, battery-operated, wireless data transfer, weatherproof Mirador-Tx software allows automatic configuration and 3D positioning Simultaneous processing of AE and PD signals Power transformers are critical to transmission and distribution substations. In fact, losing a unit can have major financial consequences. To protect your investment, use Acoustic Emission Testing. This technique is superior to electric methods for on-site testing. The AE-150 detects and locates Partial Discharges & Hot Spots in power transformers by analyzing ultrasonic waves produced by electrical insulation breakdowns or high heat. The ultrasonic waves travel through the oil and strike the transformer’s tank, providing the AE-150 the signals needed to locate the flaw. The instrument is installed on the transformer using the integrated magnetic mounting system. This features provides an easy way of moving the AE-150 to survey the entire transformer. The remote user interface and the RF communication system allow safe operation of the unit in any outdoor conditions. Developed in partnership with Hydro-Quebec and I.R.E.Q. laboratory, the AE-150 brings a high level of acoustic and electrical expertise in an easy-to-use and efficient package.
