Hitachi Energy's CoreSense™ gives continuous online monitoring of transformer gases, such as hydrogen and moisture. CoreSense™ is qualified as TXpert™ Ready Sensor to connect with CoreTec™ 4, the TXpert™ Hub, that monitors hydrogen levels in transformer oil to provide an early warning for most incipient transformer faults and complement traditional offline laboratory Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) of the transformer oil.
Easy installation
Hitachi Energy's CoreSense™ can be installed on any transformer brand and type, old as well as new, or on a whole fleet of transformers. Thanks to CoreSense™ innovative thermal pump design that uses no moving parts, CoreSense™ can be connected to the transformer at any location, including the drain valve.
Universal fluid support
Hitachi Energy's CoreSense™ can be used with transformers filled with the following fluids:
Hitachi Energy’s CoreSense™ is maintenance free for 15 years. There are no moving parts and no need to calibrate.
