1. Introduction

1.1 Overview Welcome to the HydroTrac™ User Manual. The HydroTrac instrument is the cost-effective solution to the continuous partial discharge (PD) monitoring of hydrogenerators. This manual explains, and gives various examples of, the usage for your HydroTrac instrument. Installation of the sensors (epoxy-mica capacitive couplers) and the HydroTrac instrument are described in the PDA Coupler Installation Guide and HydroTrac Installation Guide, respectively. There are three companion software packages, which are described in other documentation:

TracLink™ – to download archived data from the HydroTrac TracCon™ – to download pulse height analysis PD plots through the

HydroTrac TracWiz™ – to configure the HydroTrac

To begin with, some basic information about HydroTrac is listed below to help you get familiar with the instrument. The HydroTrac instrument is a very sophisticated piece of technology that is remarkably simple to use. The instrument’s interface design is easy to use. Six buttons are used to enter all the information HydroTrac will ever need. However, this six-button limitation does make some tasks a little more time-consuming. Reading through this manual will make entering the setup information of the instrument a breeze. See Section 3, for more information on the Setup mode.

Your HydroTrac instrument panel is located inside the HydroTrac Enclosure and contains a 4-line LCD display, which can be viewed through the case window. This display can be configured to inform you of:

• NQN and Qm (Qmax) information • Instrument setup information

The HydroTrac instrument also informs users of: • Alarms signaled by an LED and/or relay. Alarms remain on until acknowledged

by the user. • A low battery level in the instrument.

• Status LEDs notify the user when the unit is acquiring data and if the instrument needs immediate attention for a malfunction, or a variety of user-defined monitoring conditions.

The front panel of the HydroTrac instrument is simple which makes the instrument easier to use. To access the buttons on this panel, the Enclosure door must be opened.

Each area of the front panel is described in the following table.

Item Description

AcquiringData

This LED will light up for the period of time it takes to collect a reading (usually 45-50 seconds). When the instrument is in the process of retrieving data from the various sensors this will blink off briefly once every five seconds. This signals the changing of the pulse magnitude window being monitored. If this light is blinking at a rate of more than once every five seconds, or it does not stay on for a full five seconds, it indicates a problem with the reference signal.

New Data

This LED simply informs the user that new data has been collected and is available to the user. It will remain lit for a period of 5 seconds once the collection of data is complete.

HydroTrac User Manual Introduction • 1-3 Iris Power Engineering Inc.

1.3 Definitions There are some terms used throughout this manual that are technical or specialized in nature. For a better and much quicker understanding of this instrument and maximum productivity, please read through these definitions.

NQN: NQN (normalized quantity number) is a partial discharge (PD) quantity that is proportional to the total partial discharge activity measured by a PD sensor. Negative NQN refers to the total activity from negative PD pulses. Positive NQN refers to the total PD activity from positive PD pulses. NQN is an indicator of the average condition of the stator winding insulation. For further information regarding PD theory, please contact Iris Power Engineering.

Qm (Qmax): Qm, or Qmax, is the magnitude of the PD activity, measured in millivolts, corresponding to a pulse repetition rate of 10 pulses per second. Qm is an indicator of how severe the PD is at the most deteriorated part of the winding. Positive and negative Qm refer to the peak PD activity from positive and negative PD pulses, respectively. The terms Qm and Qmax are used interchangeably throughout the manual and the instrument software.

2-D Data: PD data results are often displayed in a two-dimensional display depicting polarity, pulse-count rate, and magnitude. The pulse totals displayed are separated and classified based on characteristics and source. This data is downloaded using the TracCon application.

Archived Data: The Daily Archived Data is a summary of all the PD readings taken over the last month, in day-by-day records. The Monthly Archived Data is a further summary of the last 24 Daily Archived Data records for a total summary time span of two years. Archived data includes maximum, minimum and average readings for each of the +/- NQN and +/- Qm values for each coupler. This is accessed using the TracLink application.

Multiplexor or Termination Board: This is the internal circuit board to which external inputs are connected. This circuit board serves four purposes:

• It accesses each of the input couplers (a measurement is only performed on one coupler at a time).

• It provides output connectors (BNC-type) to connect to external equipment, when required.

. Alarm: The alarm will signal that partial discharge readings have been received which are higher than the thresholds set by the user in the configuration of the instrument. Once the alarm is triggered, it will remain on until acknowledged.

Note: HydroTrac has a built-in single-output alarm, but can also be connected to a separate Alarm Output Module. If you have the Alarm Output Module option installed, the ‘Latched Output’ will remain on, or set, as long as any alarm is active. The ‘Momentary Output’ will set and automatically reset after a few seconds.

Sensitivity Range: This range determines the upper and lower boundaries of the partial discharge detection of the instrument. For example, if the 5-85 mV sensitivity range is selected, then only PD pulses within the range will be counted; pulses of magnitude greater than 85 mV will be over range. It is possible that if the sensitivity range is set too low or too high, then no NQN or Qm can be calculated.


Phase Shift: In order to properly calibrate the HydroTrac instrument, the phase shift between the power frequency reference voltage and the voltage of the phase under test must be determined. With EMC’s, this shift is +90 degrees.

Alarm Threshold: The alarm threshold is a number set by the user as an upper limit of NQN or Qm acceptability. Once this value is exceeded in the monitoring process, an alarm is triggered.

Circular Buffer: See Figure 1-2. Circular Buffer Memory. This diagram illustrates the concept of the circular buffer method of data storage. The buffer is based on a FIFO (first in first out) architecture in order to preserve the most recent data.

1.4 Manual Conventions

1.4.1 Screens and Menus The HydroTrac display is designed in such a way that it resembles a group of menus that are interlinked with some user input or output screens. The difference between a menu and a screen is that a menu lists choices of further menus or screens, whereas the screen is the final node in its path. A screen will either require input from the user or will display gathered data for the user.

This command selects the test measurement duration. It is a global setting, applied to all coupler input pairs.

Network ⇒Settings ⇒Settings Menu #4

HydroTrac has two communications modes built in. The first is an RS232 protocol available on the front panel DB9 type connector. The second mode of communication is an RS485 protocol (optional fiber optic connections are also available internally), which uses a networked addressing scheme. These two modes are mutually exclusive – you must disable one protocol to enable the other.

Note: When Network is ENABLED, the RS232 protocol is not available. When the Network is DISABLED, the RS232 protocol is available.

Phase Adjust ⇒Settings ⇒Settings Menu #2

Used to specify a phase adjustment for the AC line synchronization source. When measurements are made from a capacitive coupler, the phase adjustment is normally set to +090, signifying 90 degrees, or one-quarter of the phase cycle. This is required because capacitive coupling shifts the low

Table 3. HydroTrac Menu Commands

2.1 Operating Modes The HydroTrac has two main modes: the Remote Control Mode and the Continuous On-line Mode. Also, two distinct connection modes can be used when collecting data with HydroTrac: Single Direct Connection and Multiple Addressed Connection. For more information regarding connection modes, please refer to the HydroTrac Installation Guide.

The two main operating modes are mutually exclusive; you cannot operate in both modes simultaneously. However, you can switch back and forth between the modes. Most customers will probably choose one mode of operation and have little need to change it.

There is a third mode of operation that may be used occasionally: the Idle Mode. This mode is used for configuring the HydroTrac via the keypad, and once this is done, the Idle Mode will rarely be needed. A road map of the menu system is provided in Section 3.

2.1.1 Remote Control Mode HydroTrac is configured for Remote Control Mode when a host computer controller is used to acquire data from a HydroTrac that is permanently connected to a hydrogenerator. The host computer controller can be configured through TracCon™ to acquire readings at specific time intervals, such as hourly or daily, and automatically retrieve and store this data to the database files. These readings can be viewed using PDView. TracLink™ can be used to remotely download the data archived within the HydroTrac memory. Please refer to the appropriate User’s Manuals for information on these software packages.

Optionally, a user could occasionally visit, or connect to, a HydroTrac and perform a measurement in Remote Control Mode using TracCon or download the archived data using TracLink. A permanent connection to a host computer is not required.


In the Remote Control Mode of operation using TracCon, a host computer controller signals a HydroTrac to perform a measurement on any one of its coupler pair inputs. The host computer controller performs a measurement automatically with no user intervention required. The data type retrieved is called 2-D Data.

The Remote Control Operating Mode HydroTrac has a distinctive message displayed on its liquid crystal display.

HydroTrac Vx.xx Iris Power Eng. Remote Control ->*<-

The display, shown above, shows the current firmware version number, and the bottom line shows a moving cursor that moves laterally. This indicates the HydroTrac is functioning properly. Normally, a HydroTrac instrument is only placed into Remote Control Mode by a host computer connected via the RS485 or fiber optic interface when a measurement is desired. It is also possible to place HydroTrac in Remote Control Mode if the key is pressed during power up. However, once powered up, it is not possible to place a HydroTrac instrument into Remote Control Operating Mode manually via the front panel keypad.

2.1.2 Continuous On-line Mode When in Continuous On-line Mode, HydroTrac is always on-line. At power up, HydroTrac displays the current firmware version, and a message indicating it is initializing.

The HydroTrac can be configured to go to on-line immediately at power up. If not configured to do so, the HydroTrac enters Idle Mode and is ready for user input via the keypad. Please note, that unless the instrument is On-Line, it is not actively collecting data and monitoring alarm levels.

Unlike the Single Shot Operating Mode where 2-D data is generated, the Continuous On-line Mode stores two types of archived data: Daily Archived Data and Monthly Archived Data. The Daily Archived Data is a summary of all the readings taken over the last month, in day-by-day records. The Monthly Archived Data is a further summary of the last 24 Daily Archived Data records for a total summary time span of two years. This data can be downloaded using TracLink.

2.1.3 Idle Mode Pressing the Cancel key on the front panel once will bring the HydroTrac into Idle Mode once the current test sequence is completed.

In this mode of operation, the HydroTrac accepts commands from the front panel keypad. The user will configure all aspects of the HydroTrac operation and then, usually, command the HydroTrac to go On-Line.


2.2 Power Up Options The HydroTrac has some operating modes that are only accessible while pressing a special key on the front panel display during power up. These special modes of operation are:

• Remote Control Operating Mode Press at power up to place HydroTrac into Single Shot Operating Mode. While in this mode, pressing any key returns the user to Continuous On-line Mode.

• Restore Factory Setup Press F1 at power up to restore the factory default settings. The Event Log, all Alarm Flags and all Attention Flags will be cleared.

3.3.2 Measurements Measurement Menu Single Shot The Single Shot sub-menus allow the user to select a coupler input pair and a measurement sensitivity range. The Single Shot menu looks like this:

Single Shot Menu #1 ->More... 500mV-8000mV Range Couplers P1-A

The Single Shot Menu #1 display shows the user what the current sensitivity range is, (500mV to 8500mV range is shown) and the current inputs enabled (Couplers P1-A is shown). The user can select from the following ranges:

• 5 mV-85 mV Range is the most sensitive range, uses internal amplifiers. • 10 mV-170 mV Range uses internal amplifiers. • 20 mV-340 mV Range • 50 mV-850 mV Range • 100 mV-1700 mV Range • 200 mV-3400 mV Range, uses internal attenuators • 500 mV-8500 mV Range is the least sensitive range, uses internal attenuators.

Also, the user can choose from six coupler pairs. The coupler pairs are:

• Couplers P1-A, the first pair of couplers on the A phase input. • Couplers P1-B, the first pair of couplers on the B phase input. • Couplers P1-C, the first pair of couplers on the C phase input. • Couplers P2-A, the second pair of couplers on the A phase input. • Couplers P2-B, the second pair of couplers on the B phase input. • Couplers P2-C, the second pair of couplers on the C phase input.

3-2 • Menu System & Display Screens HydroTrac User Manual Iris Power Engineering Inc.

Please note, if the external multiplexor is not installed, or not functioning properly, the user only has a single option for the input, the Couplers P1-A input.

Single Shot Menu #2 ->More... Get New Data View Last Data

The Single Shot Menu #2 has two commands: Get New Data and View Last Data. Select the Get New Data command to run a single measurement. If the HydroTrac was configured to run a 1 Second test, then each measurement sweep takes one second to complete, and the entire test will be completed in about 45 seconds. If the HydroTrac was configured to run a 5 Second test then each measurement sweep takes five seconds to complete, and the entire test will be completed in about 3 minutes.

The Get New Data command is used to perform a Single Shot Test measurement. This command is used to help users determine the proper sensitivity to select for a particular coupler pair. When this command is issued, the data obtained is not stored in the Daily Archived Data or the Monthly Archived Data archive – it is discarded.

When a 1 second test is selected, the display shows the following information:

Acquiring data Running test X..........

Where X indicates the current magnitude window (there are 16 in all). As the test progresses, the X will move along the bottom of the display, and an * will be displayed in its place, indicating that the measurement step is complete.

When a 5 second test is selected, the display shows the following information:

Acquiring data Running test 1..........

Where 1 indicates the current magnitude window step (there are 5 in all) and the current magnitude window (there are 16 in all). As the test progresses, the 1 will increment to 2,3,4 and 5 and then move along the bottom of the display, and an * will be displayed in its place, indicating that the measurement step is complete.

Some errors can be reported here. For example:

Acquiring data Waiting for sync ***X..........

Indicates that the line-frequency synchronization signal is absent. The HydroTrac will wait forever to complete a test if the synchronization signal is absent.

HydroTrac has three communications protocols built in – RS232, RS485 and fiber optics (available internally, jumpers must be set – see HydroTrac Installation Guide for more information.)

The RS485/fiber optics protocol uses a multi-drop addressing scheme that allows up to 99 devices to be networked together on a simple four-wire RS485 connection. Due to the complexity of the addressing scheme, the RS485/fiber optics and RS232 protocols are mutually exclusive. You must disable one protocol in order to use the other.

3.4.5 Settings Settings Menu #5 Sensitivity

HydroTrac has six sensitivity ranges spanning 5 mV to 8500 mV. Each input pair can have its own sensitivity range selected.

Settings Menu #5 More... Couplers P1-A ->Disabled

If Disabled is selected, the coupler pair will not be monitored when the HydroTrac is in Continuous On-line Mode. For each coupler pair, the user selects the sensitivity ranges. (see Section 3.3.2)

Press F1 to copy the sensitivity last used in the Single Shot Get New Data command.

Press F2 to select Disabled.

Note: If a double asterisk appears next to the coupler pair P1-A, the HydroTrac cannot detect the external multiplexor, and therefore does not allow the user to choose ranges for these coupler pairs.

Generally speaking, the +Qmax or –Qmax values should be about half the value of the maximum sensitivity selected. Refer to Section 3.3.2 on how to collect a single shot of data to determine where to set the sensitivity range. Use the following table to select the proper sensitivity range:


Sensitivity Range Maximum QMax Value (Highest sensitivity) 5 mV to 85 mV < 45 mV 10 mV to 170 mV < 90 mV 20 mV to 320 mV < 180 mV 50 mV to 850 mV < 450 mV 100 mV to 1700 mV < 900 mV 200 mV to 3200 mV < 1800 mV (Lowest sensitivity) 500 mV to 8500 mV < 4500 mV

Table 3-1. Maximum QMax Values vs Sensitivities.

Note: If you expect partial discharge levels to rise over time, it would be wise to use a lower sensitivity range from the start. This is because NQN and QMax values are not easily normalized across ranges – experienced user interpretation is required to compare NQN and QMax values obtained from different sensitivity readings.

3.4.6 Settings Settings Menu #6 Change Name

Each HydroTrac needs a unique name of up to 16 characters. This name is primarily used for identification purposes when multiple HydroTracs are networked together. We suggest you name the HydroTrac appropriately for the machine or equipment to which the HydroTrac is connected.

Note: Invalid dates can lead to unpredictable results.

3.4.8 Settings Settings Menu #8 Enable MUX

Most HydroTracs are shipped with an external six-pair input multiplexor (MUX). The multiplexor is designed on a multi-layered circuit board which allows high frequency signals to be switched in and out of the measurement circuit path as necessary. In some circumstances, it may be beneficial to access the external coupler connections via the BNC-type connectors provided on the front panel of the multiplexor. When this is required, you must disable the multiplexor control via HydroTrac’s Enable Mux command.

Settings Menu #8 More... ->MUX Enabled SOM Enabled

Use the keys to toggle the choices.

Enabled

The external multiplexor has a green indicator in the lower right-hand corner. The indicator must be lit for normal HydroTrac operation.

Note: When the external multiplexor is disabled, Continuous On-line Mode cannot proceed.

3.4.9 Settings Settings Menu #8 Enable SOM and AOM

The Sensor Output Module (SOM) and the Alarm Output Module (AOM) are optional accessories for HydroTrac. The SOM converts the measured NQN and QMax values to an analog signal, suitable for continuous monitoring by systems like PLC’s. The AOM is


used to provide alarm signals for a monitoring system. The AOM is auto detected, but the SOM must be enabled.

Settings Menu #8 More... MUX Enabled ->SOM Enabled


The external SOM and AOM have a yellow indicator that blinks every second or so, indicating that they are working properly.

3.4.10 Settings Settings Menu #9 Test Duration

This command is used to select the Test Duration. It can be set for either 1s or 5s test duration.

Settings Menu #9 More... ->1 Second Test


When the 1 Second Test is enabled, the HydroTrac performs an entire test in about 45 seconds. This is beneficial during the Continuous On-line Mode because it results in quicker test cycles – more measurements are performed on the enabled coupler pairs in one day.

When the 5 Second Test is enabled, the HydroTrac performs an entire test in about 3 minutes. This is beneficial when very low partial discharges level are present – the longer measurement cycle results in more pulses captured.

The actual acquired data is normalized such that under normal conditions, the same values should be recorded regardless of the Test Duration used.

3.5 HydroTrac Main Menu Diagnostics Menu When entering the Diagnostics menu, the Diagnostics submenu is displayed. These menu items navigate the user through all of HydroTrac’s diagnostic parameters.

The Diagnostics menu has three submenus that logically split the diagnostic details into three categories: Events Log, Maintenance and Self Tests.

3.5.1 Diagnostics Menu Events Log HydroTrac keeps track of some operating events, such as, number of times the instrument was reset. These events are recorded in a counter that is incremented every time the event occurs. The commands listed in this section are used for diagnostics purposes only; they do not affect the operation of HydroTrac’s data acquisition system.

Each Events Log counter has a maximum value of 65535 counts.

3.5.1.1 Diagnostics Events Log Events Logged #1 Reset On

This command resets the date the HydroTrac has recorded as its last reset date. Normally, HydroTrac reads the date from its real time clock every time it is reset, and stores this information into the Reset On date in the Events Log.

Events Logged #1 More... ->Reset On Jan 01/00 Reset Count= 00001

Press to reset the date to the current date and increment the reset counter by 1.

Press to perform a soft reset.

Note: HydroTrac performs a reset during power up and power down. If power is removed then re-applied, the reset counter will increment by two.

Reset Count

This command clears the counter which increments every time the HydroTrac is reset.

Events Logged #1 More... Reset On Jan 01/00 ->Reset Count= 00001

Press to clear the Reset Count to 0.

Note: This counter can be useful in determining how frequently the HydroTrac experiences power outages or brown-outs.

3.5.1.2 Diagnostics Events Log Events Logged #2 Clear High Temperature Counter

This command clears the counter which increments every minute or so when the HydroTrac measures internal operating temperatures above 70º C.


Most electronic equipment, HydroTrac included, will operate out-of-manufacturer’s specification when subjected to temperature extremes. When this occurs, HydroTrac will continue to operate and monitor if programmed to do so, but may yield inaccurate results and perhaps lead to failure of the liquid crystal display. The High Temperature Counter can be used as a diagnostics indicator when suspect data is recorded.

Events Logged #2 More... ->High Temp = 00000 Low Temp = 00000

Press to clear the High Temperature counter to 0.

Clear Low Temperature Counter

This command clears the counter which increments every minute or so when the HydroTrac measures internal operating temperatures below -20º C.

Most electronic equipment, HydroTrac included, will operate out-of-manufacturer’s specification when subjected to temperature extremes. When this occurs, HydroTrac will continue to operate, and monitor if programmed to do so, but may yield inaccurate results. The Low Temperature Counter can be used as a diagnostics indicator when suspect data is recorded.

Events Logged #2 More... High Temp = 00000 ->Low Temp = 00000

Press to clear the Low Temperature counter to 0.

3.5.1.3 Diagnostics Events Log Events Logged #3 Clear Comm Errors Counter

This command clears the counter which increments every time the HydroTrac detects a communication error.

->Net Errors = 00000

3.5.1.4 Diagnostics Events Log Events Logged #4 Clear Alarm Counter

HydroTrac counts the number of times an Alarm Threshold is exceeded for each of its six coupler-pair inputs in Continuous On-line Mode. Whenever HydroTrac measures NQN or QMax values that exceed the programmed Alarm Threshold, the corresponding alarm counter increments; the alarm is set and remains set even if the alarm condition no longer exists.

The maximum alarm count is 65535. The counters can be displayed so the user can determine the frequency of the alarm condition, in order to determine if the alarm is a one-time anomaly or a cause for concern.

Events Logged #4 More... ->Coupler P1-A Alarm Count= 00000

Press to cycle through the six input pairs.

Events Logged #4 More... Coupler P1-A ->Alarm Count= 00000

Press to clear the Alarm Count.

Note: Clearing the alarm counter does not clear the active alarm. If the Alarm Indicator is lit, you must clear the alarm condition as well – the counters and the alarm status are separate flags.

3.5.1.5 Diagnostics Events Log Events Logged #5 Clear Power Supply Faults

HydroTrac monitors the faults that occur with its power supplies in a counter called Power Supply. This counter is incremented every time HydroTrac’s automatic self-test reports a power supply is out of tolerance. An out of tolerance supply occurs when a voltage is +/- 5% out of its rating.

HydroTrac performs a self-test only at power up and after each measurement cycle when it is in Continuous On-line Mode. If a HydroTrac is in Idle Mode, it does not perform self-tests automatically.

Events Logged #5 More... ->Power Supply=00000 System Errs =00000

Press to clear the Power Supply fault counter.

Clear System Errors Counter

HydroTrac monitors various system operating conditions such as clock failures, memory failures and so on. Most system faults must be investigated at the factory, so this
