Gas analyzer Vaisala OptimusTM OPT100 DGA for transformers - Vaisala

The Vaisala Optimus OPT100 DGA Gas Analyzer delivers high performance, zero false alarms and the best long-term measurement stability of any device on the market, with absolutely no maintenance.

Data reliability

? Optical sensors are protected from contamination

? Vacuum gas extraction does not depend on oil temperature, pressure, etc.

? Unique automatic calibration eliminates long-term errors

? IR sensors, designed and manufactured in Vaisala's cleanroom facilities

? Spectral scanning for better gas selectivity

? Excellent signal-to-noise ratio means no averaging method

Robust design

? Sealed design withstands pressure and vacuum changes

? There are no consumables for replacement or maintenance

? IP66 rated and temperature controlled housing withstands harsh environments

? All components and pipes made of stainless steel and aluminum

? Magnetic gear pump and magnetic valves

Modern design

? A standalone monitor that can be installed in less than two hours

? Browser-based user interface, meaning no additional software required

? Continuous real-time monitoring allows for trend tracking, analysis and comparison, for example with load conditions

? Self-diagnosis ensures self-recovery after violations

What is different about the Vaisala Optimus DGA gas analyzer?

The Vaisala Optimus DGA OPT100 gas analyzer is the culmination of decades of research into customer needs and existing devices, as well as leveraging our 80 years of experience in manufacturing sensors and measurement equipment for safety-critical industries and harsh environmental conditions.

No more false alarms

The gas analyzer's IR sensor has been developed and optimized in Vaisala's clean environment. Vacuum gas sampling means no fluctuations in data due to temperature, pressure or oil type, and the sealed and protected optical system prevents sensor contamination. Final result? A gas analyzer that completely eliminates false alarms.

A device that works anywhere

Stainless steel tubing, IP66 temperature controlled housing, magnetic pump and valves provide superior performance and durability - from the arctic to the tropics. Also, there are no consumables for maintenance or replacement.

Smart features for seamless monitoring

The Vaisala Optimus DGA OPT100 gas analyzer has a browser-based interface that completely eliminates the need for additional software. The device can be installed in less than two hours. Just prepare the oil and connect the electricity, it is ready to go. In case of any troubles, such as a power outage, the self-diagnosis function allows the device to independently restore all necessary resources.

1) The indicated error is the error of the sensors during calibration measurements of gas concentration. The error in measuring gas concentration in oil can also be affected by the properties of the oil and other chemical compounds dissolved in the oil.

2) Depending on which value is greater.

3) Reproducibility of ethane concentration measurements is based on averaging over five measurements.

4) Measured as relative saturation (%).

5) The upper range is limited by saturation.

6) Calculated concentration value (in ppm) is based on average solubility in mineral oils.
