GISmonitor
Partial Discharge Monitoring on GIS
The GISmonitor builds on more than 20 years of experience in online PD
monitoring on rotating machines, transformers, cables, and especially
GIS systems. It combines proven technology of the ICMmonitor with
new processor technology and embedded hardware capabilities. The
hardware core of the system has been optimized for parallel, real time
PD acquisition on multiple channels. Any UHF signal can be detected
and digitized within micro seconds. A separation of PD events from
external disturbances or internal switching pulses is calculated in real
time and, therefore, an effective PD and alarm detection is given. Each
8-channel acquisition plug-in board operates fully stand alone, but can
be combined with a virtually unlimited number of units, to monitor all
PD sensors in one or even multiple GIS in parallel. A partial discharge
mmonitoring acquisition rack (PDMAR) carries up to 15 plug-in boards
– each with eight channels – providing up to 120 channels. An industrial
type PC installed in a partial discharge monitoring control rack
(PDMCR) reads all data of the instruments via the high speed fiber optic LAN ring, providing communication redundancy.
Storage redundancy is provided due to a RAID controller and data mirroring on multiple drives. Each cabinet comes with
an uninterruptible power supply, a network switch and temperature controlled cooling and heating. Cabinets for indoor
applications feature a protection class of IP54, while cabinets for outdoor applications reach a protection class of IP65.
