MONGEMO
Permanent on-line partial discharge monitoring system
for power generators and electrical motors
Knowing the condition of stator insulation is vital
Aging of the stator winding insulation can occur both in the slot and end-winding areas. If the insulation condition is not monitored regularly, an inadequate assessment can lead to improper maintenance. In worst cases it can also lead to dielectric failure and costly downtime.
Early detection of partial discharges can prevent machine failure
A majority of insulation defects can be detected early through the permanent on-line monitoring of partial discharges (PD).
The insulation materials typically used for rotating machines are resistant to a certain level of PD. However, an increase in PD activity over time can indicate insulation degradation caused by operational stress and aging processes that could lead to serious damage and failure in rotating machines.
Continuous on-line PD monitoring is a very effective and well-established technique used to continuously assess the condition of the stator winding insulation system.
Failures can be avoided through the timely implementation of maintenance and repair measures to ensure a longer service life.
MONGEMO at a Glance
Continuous PD detection in rotating machines
Our MONGEMO permanent on-line PD monitoring system combines advanced hardware and software for complete condition assessment of stator insulation in:
- Turbo generators
- Hydro generators
- Electrical motors
Complete on-line assessments
MONGEMO continuously records PD activity and reliably indicates the state of stator insulation while your machines are on-line during normal operating conditions.
Condition-based action trigger
The system’s condition-based action trigger determines when surrounding conditions, such increased load or temperature, are present, and gates out their effect so they do not compromise measurement evaluation.
Online/Offline Delay
The system also determines if the machine is online or offline by comparing the measured Vrms value to the given voltage threshold. Measurement results will not be stored for off-line rotating machine unless specified.
Effective noise suppression and source separation
MONGEMO employs advanced noise suppression techniques to ensure accurate analysis, such as our 3-Phase Amplitude Relation Diagram (3PARD) and automatic PD cluster separation.
Pattern classification
When enough data is available, a pattern classification is performed for the phase with the highest amplitude. You can generate an automatic report that provides you with an explanation of the probable PD defect.
Intuitive web-based user interface
The MONGEMO software web-based user interface allows you to remotely configure the monitoring system, view real-time PD data and historical trends, and to analyze the collected raw data.
Software for PD monitoring and analysis
With the monitoring software you can configure the system, set warning and alarm thresholds and view PD as well as record real-time data streams for in-depth post analysis. Collected PD data is shown in a trend chart for each phase
Customizable, automatic reporting
You can customize templates for different types of reports with relevant measurement and alarm data for a specified time period and manage email recipient lists. The reports are automatically generated and distributed.
