INTELLIGENT DIAGNOSTIC DEVICES

Introduction
A family of continuous online diagnostic devices for power system apparatus intended
to detect incipient problems with bushings/CTs, transformers, and circuit breakers. Now,
progressive problems can be managed safely, and replacement can be deferred until
corrective action can be scheduled efciently.
Rugged and Reliable designed to oper-
ate reliably in electrically noisy substations
and in extreme weather conditions.
Self-Diagnostics the rmware will moni-
tor critical signals continuously for proper op-
eration of the IDD. Indication of the malfunc-
tion is given locally as well as remotely.
Web Browser PC interface The IDD can
be accessed via a standard web browser
available on all PCs. No special software
installation is required on the PC.
Description
The IDD, Intelligent Diagnostic Device, is a
cost-effective online diagnostic system used
to monitor electrical apparatus in the eld.
Each IDD is intended to be apparatus spe-
cic and can be mounted in existing enclo-
sures or in optional enclosures available from
Doble. The IDD is easy to install and, once
congured, operates continuously. The IDD
contains a state-of-the-art microprocessor-
based signal processing module, a control
panel for user interface, alert indications, an
RS-232 serial port for local PC access, as
well as options for remote communication.
The IDD software system acquires data
through the data acquisition board and ana-
lyzes this information using the eld-proven
expert diagnostic system. The software
provides an assessment of the apparatus
on a continuous basis. This eliminates the
need for an external server or database. An
IDD can be congured for analysis of various
subsystems by simply installing the appropri-
ate data acquisition board.

Features
Continuous Condition Assessment the
status of the apparatus is constantly being
evaluated by the eld-proven diagnostic
expert system, minimizing the need to per-
form routine testing.
Early Identifcation
of Problems re-
ned signal process-
ing and eld-proven
analysis will identify
abnormalities, an-
ticipate failures, and
eliminate false alerts.
Prioritized Alerts
based on the sig-
nicance of the in-
cipient problem, the
analysis will issue an
alert indicating the
criticality of the prob-
lem, providing a tool
to manage risk.
Specifes Cor-
rective Action
an alert identies
the problem and
prompts corrective
action required to
resolve the problem.
Simple and Easy Installation a self-con-
tained device which simply requires con-
necting sensors, input power, and optional
remote communication to complete instal-
lation. Minimum outage time and resources
are needed for installation.
The rmware automatically detects the
installed hardware and activates the appro-
priate expert system analysis. IDDs versatile
design allows easy hardware and software
upgrades in the eld.
The alphanumeric display shows the highest
level alert issued by the expert system. For
detailed measurement, the IDD can be ac-
cessed via a local PC via an RS-232 port. A
standard web browser is the only application
required for viewing alerts and data, as well
as conguring the IDD. The same functional-
ity is also offered with the remote communi-
cation options. The IDD can be congured to
display its web pages in the local language.
Contact Doble for more information about
which languages are currently available.
The IDD is designed to operate reliably under
extreme weather conditions and electrical
interference. The self-diagnostic continuously
tracks the condition of the unit and issues an
alert if an abnormality is detected.
The Doble Difference
Continuous online diagnostic assessment
of critical apparatus can help ensure
optimal asset utilization by identifying the
most appropriate and cost-effective cor-
rective action.
With more than 80 years of high voltage ap-
paratus expertise, Doble has designed and
engineered the IDD with a built-in expert di-
agnostic system. The expert system, when
appropriate, will issue a prioritized alert.
The alert identies any abnormalities in the
apparatus and indicates the severity along
with required corrective action. Alerts are
classied in three categories: information,
warning, and action. Action is the highest
level of alert, requiring an immediate correc-
tive response.
Built-in hardware and software diagnostics
continuously monitor the IDD and the as-
sociated sensors to verify proper installation
and functionality, making the IDD virtually
maintenance-free. Indication of a problem is
provided locally as well as remotely.
The IDD provides a Maintenance Mode fea-
ture, which allows the analysis to be placed
on standby when the apparatus is out of
service. This feature ensures the integrity
of the analysis and prevents unnecessary
alerts.
Protocol
Communication with the IDD is viewable
through any web browser and is accessible
locally over the RS232 port or remotely
through the Ethernet Modem, RS485, or
RS232 connections. No additional software
is required.
Remote Communication
Options
An IDD can be congured with any of the fol-
lowing remote communication options:
Ethernet TCP/IP
RS485 supports DNP3 and ASCII
Modem
Supervisory I/O
RS232 supports DNP3 and ASCII
The Supervisory I/O offers a SCADA interface
for the IDD. This communication option
consists of four outputs and two inputs. The
input serves to acknowledge and reset the
alerts. The outputs are potential-free contacts
that correspond to low, medium, and high
alerts and the status of the IDD.
