Page 8 - PDTrac II - Use data effectively

ON-LINE MONITORING THE EFFICIENT WAY

The How?

Step 1:
Connect the PDTrac II to your plant network using a standard ethernet cable.

Step 2:
Configure the PDTrac II to receive the asset operating conditions: kV, MW, MVar and Temperature.

Step 3:
Configure your DCS to receive the PDTrac II output via ModBus/TCPIP protocols.

Step 4:
Configure your DCS to alert when the appropriate conditions are met, such as:
• PD is above the 75% and increasing at the rate of 100% over a 12-month interval
• PD is above the 90% and increasing at a rate of 50% over a 12-month interval
• Negative PD is greater than the Positive PD for a multi-turn coil winding
• Positive PD is greater than the Negative PD and directly correlates with load

Step 5:
Use the PDTracPro across your plant LAN software to analyze the data that led to the alert

Step 6:
Perform additional testing and/or visual inspections based on the results of Step 5
