6 3.0 Description of the CoreSense hydrogen and moisture sensor The CoreSense continuously monitors hydrogen and moisture levels in oil and alerts the user when either one starts increasing beyond a predefined threshold. Realtime monitoring complements periodic off-line dissolved gas analysis by alerting the user much sooner to evolving conditions. Hydrogen was chosen as the main fault indicator for the CoreSense because it is almost always the first gas present when an incipient fault begins to manifest itself. Increased moisture together with temperature and oxygen can lead to accelerated insulation aging. Thus monitoring both parameters allows users to react quickly, investigate and fix developing issues with their transformers. The CoreSense can be mounted at multiple locations on the transformer including on the drain valve because it uses a heating element to induce forced convection and ensure that fresh representative oil is always reaching the solid state sensing elements. The goal of the CoreSense is to reduce transformer maintenance and increase reliability. These benefits should not be compromised by sensor maintenance requirements. Therefore, we designed the CoreSense for maximum reliability. The result is a design that is entirely solid state and does not make use of any oil-gas separation system whatsoever, neither membrane or headspace. Instead two solid state sensing elements are directly in contact with the oil. The hydrogen sensing element is a small palladium element deposited on an electronic chip. This element was subjected to long term tests showing no deterioration over a 20 year period. The moisture sensing capacitor does not deteriorate over time. The rest of the CoreSense consists of the thermal pump that induces forced convection so that fresh oil is always in contact with the sensing elements and the electronics to drive the readings and communications. The effective lifetime of the CoreSense is therefore expected to be at least 15 years. The CoreSense user interface is designed as a series of simple web pages that can be accessed through most web browsers. The web interface allows viewing the current status of the CoreSense and setting configurable parameters.
