Gas-Guard 8 Online dissolved gas analysis sensor
usa.siemens.com/assetservices
Dissolved gas analysis (DGA)Throughout your system there are transformers that are vital to the reliability of your grid – generator step-up transformers, large transmission transformers and critical substation transformers. Based on historical installation rates, the average transformer age is 40 years. However, age itself is not a cause of failure. As transformers age, they endure various stresses that can contribute to a variety of failure mechanisms. Appropriate online DGA monitoring and diagnostic tools can help utilities lower maintenance costs, extend transformer useful life and avoid unplanned failures. Gas chromatography (GC) has long been the accepted standard for the measurement of dissolved gas levels in transformer oil. GAS-Guard® 8 brings the DGA laboratory to your transformer with its rugged, closed-loop gas chromatograph.
Dissolved gas analysis is the single-most comprehensive tool for transformer condition assessment
Key benefits include• Field-based, fully automated DGA requires
no manual oil sampling or remote lab testing
• Use of the only measurement method specified for all DGA standards worldwide (IEE, IEC, ASTM)• Performs accurate DGA analysis on mineral and ester-based insulating fluids• Built-in self calibration system traceable
to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) executes weekly tests for performance confirmation
• Accurate and timely DGA results improve the ability to protect transformer against fault damage• Time-date stamped test results allow
correlation between real events and measured conditions
• Data generated by Gas-Guard 8 can be used to support condition-based maintenance programs
The software package included with the GAS-Guard 8 sensor allows the user to graphically display continuous gas evolution for each of the eight critical fault gases and as well as moisture, load and ambient temperature.
Online diagnostic toolsThe software package also allows the user to trace changes in fault severity over time through dynamic plots created using the Duval Triangle and Rogers Ratios analysis tools.
Online DGA data populating diagnostic tools deliver new insights. This displays Rogers Ratios (IEEE PC57.104.D11d) and basic gas ratios (IEC 60599-1999-03).
The Duval Triangle (IEC 60599-199-03) provides a diagnostic outcome for combinations of three fault gases.

The Siemens GAS-Guard 8 sensor provides a complete online dissolved gas analysis. Through chromatography, GAS-Guard 8 generates individual mea-surements of eight critical fault gases found in transformer oil. Accu-racy is commensurate with traditional lab results. The sensor continu-ally collects oil samples as often as every two hours. GAS-Guard 8 can also measure moisture in the oil, oil temperature and ambient tem-perature. DGA results and other measurement data are time-date stamped and can be correlated to transformer load.
