Working Principle: The M2-X operates on the same photoacoustic spectroscopy principle as the standard M2 but incorporates an extended optical path and dual-cell reference design for enhanced sensitivity. The additional analog inputs (S1A2) allow integration of external temperature sensors, load current transformers, or moisture probes. The system correlates gas generation rates with transformer loading and temperature data to distinguish between normal aging and incipient fault conditions. The predictive analytics engine compares current trends against a database of historical failure cases to estimate remaining useful life.
Installation Requirements:
