2. Product overview
2.1 Overview of OPT100 Optimus DGA monitor
Optimus DGA Monitor OPT100 is a device for monitoring the internal condition of an electrical
transformer using dissolved gas analysis (DGA), also known as fault gas analysis. The device is
intended to be installed next to the transformer, and connected to it by two oil lines. The
device is suitable for outdoor or indoor use. The device draws oil from a transformer, measures
the concentrations of hydrogen, moisture, and several hydrocarbons in the oil, and returns the
oil back to the transformer.
Measurement results can be transferred via communication interfaces to the substation's
SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) system. The data is also available for
viewing by human operators through the browser-based user interface.
The OPT100 Optimus DGA Monitor consists of two separate units; the DGA monitor and the
power supply unit. The DGA monitor contains the entire oil monitoring system and all control
systems and is powered by 24 V DC. The power supply unit houses all mains parts and delivers
24 V DC operating voltage to the DGA monitor. Power supply unit is available for AC supply
voltage and DC supply voltage.
