ONLINE DIELECTRIC MONITORING SYSTEM
In HV equipment, dielectric oil has the additional function of quenching the arcs that are produced under the normal operation. The byproducts of these switching arcs degrade the oil’s breakdown strength. It is the dielectric breakdown strength of the oil that determines the oil’s ability to quench the arc. Thus, the oil becomes a wear component that must be checked and maintained for optimal performance.
On-line DGA monitors can be justified on main transformer tanks but could these be used in our PFN’s, thyratron vessels and others ?
This could be part of important preventive maintenance and avoid costly machine downtime with big implications of components breakdown immersed into dielectric oil.

The TANGO control system is a free open source device-oriented controls toolkit for controlling any kind of hardware or software. It is used for controlling synchrotrons, lasers, physics experiments in over 20 sites. It is being actively developed by a consortium of research institutes. Well adapted for motion controls also.
The Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) is a software environment used to develop and implement distributed control systems to operate devices such as particle accelerators, telescopes and other large experiments
The WinCC-OA (previously known as PVSS) SCADA tool is widely used among many accelerator facilities.
