Accurate assessment of transformer insulation risk is a complex problem that requires sophisticated analysis of a dynamic environment, rarely in equilibrium. With online monitoring and an understanding of the detailed relationship between temperature and water activity in both the paper and oil, a complete and useful automated assessment is possible.

Moisture and temperature are the biggest drivers of irreversible transformer aging. Aurtra HealthSense automates the complex dynamic Water Content of Paper analysis using data from the low cost HealthSense Sensor, and these complex analyses are immediately available to assess, track and forecast the insulation state and life left across the transformer fleet.
