Description
The ICMmonitor on-line partial discharge monitor continuously monitors the condition of the insulation system of your medium and high voltage (MV and HV) assets and gives you the ability to analyse the acquired data. The in-depth analysis of the trending information delivered by the ICMmonitor enables you to detect defects in an early state and prevent costly failures.
The ICMmonitor combines three devices into one instrument: A spectrum analyser, an acoustic detector, and a partial discharge (PD) monitor. The combination of spectrum analyser and PD detector greatly expands the measurement possibilities when analysing the insulation systems in a noisy environment. Thus, the ICMmonitor offers continuous PD on-line monitoring and excellent measurement results, even with a large amount of electrical noise.
With the monitoring web server function (MWS) you can remotely access the ICMmonitor instrument and see topical information on your asset’s condition. Additionally, you can receive an email notification in the case of system errors.
The ICMmonitor can be used for monitoring the following assets:
- Power transformers
- Motors
- Generators
- Cable systems
Standard features of the ICMmonitor are:
- PD spectrum analysis for the selection of frequency bands with less disturbances, resulting in an improved signal-to-noise ratio.
- A built-in four-channel multiplexer offers scanning of three-phase systems or multiple sensors, with each measurement channel separately configurable.
- Effective noise gating for blocking phase-stable or phase-independent noises
- Automatic data acquisition and storing for trend analysis, alarming, and reporting
- UHF measurements
The instrument is available with a wide range of optional features, giving it flexible installation and a range of configuration options that can meet your specific need.
Available features are:
- Industrial monitoring cabinet with necessary supply and safety components pre-installed, suitable for outdoor installation
- Specialised control software for remote access and download of stored trending data.
- Eight-channel multiplexer.
- Monitoring web server for web browser based remote access and control from everywhere in your network.
- Mobile communication interface for remote access via UMTS
- Up to four additional output signals for external monitoring purposes.
- Up to six additional inputs for sensor signals.
- IEC 61850 interface.
- Built-in preamplifier.
- Pre-installed control PCs or notebooks.
- Expert software for PD pattern classification according to their PD faults.
Power Diagnostix’s ICMmonitor is equipped with a serial computer interface for the download of trending data and remote access, e.g., by LAN network (TCP/IP) or USB. Special software allows the remote control of the instrument, data evaluation, and in-depth diagnosis of the acquired data. This service software provides easy access to view, compare, and analyse the stored data.
Additionally, the optional monitoring web server (MWS) provides an Ethernet gateway for a platform-independent remote access to monitoring data recorded with the ICMmonitor. Alarms triggered by the instrument can be reported by automated email to the responsible person.
Combined with an LTE mobile router, a secure remote access via the Internet can be provided
