Product description
The IDAX 300 is a very compact device that requires an additional computer for operation. The IDAX 350 comes with a built-in computer and can also be used in conjunction with an external computer.
IDAX 300/350 can provide accurate and reliable insulation status information for transformers, bushings, and cables. The IDAX system maximizes the effectiveness of maintenance work by estimating the longest service life of equipment.
Compared with the previous generation product IDAX 206, IDAX 300/350 is smaller in size, lighter in weight, and faster in speed. They maintain good accuracy and provide reliable data in high interference environments by using pure AC test signals (dielectric frequency response, sometimes referred to as FDS dielectric spectra). The latest developed software makes testing simpler and faster, and can complete transformer water content analysis (20 ℃) in about 20 minutes.
IDAX measures the capacitance and dielectric loss values of insulation between transformer windings at various frequencies, and analyzes the measurement results using a model to obtain the moisture content of solid insulation, the conductivity/dielectric loss of insulation oil, and the dielectric loss at reference temperature. Due to the model’s ability to accurately compensate for the impact of temperature on test results, testing can be conducted at any temperature.
Application
With the gradual aging of transformers in the power grid, power companies are facing severe challenges, as transformer failures and subsequent repairs, as well as power outages during this period, can cause significant losses. Transformers have become the most critical components in the power grid. In order to improve the reliability of equipment and maximize economic benefits, this demand has prompted world-class experts to evaluate new technologies in order to find reliable methods for condition monitoring and diagnosis.
IDAX is a revolutionary insulation diagnostic instrument based on DFR technology (dielectric frequency response, sometimes referred to as FDS dielectric spectrum). Although this technology has been applied in laboratories for many years, IDA/IDAX was the first instrument used for on-site measurements (1997). The quality and effectiveness of IDAX instruments have been fully demonstrated through extensive use over the past few decades.
