Overview
Advanced Energy’s Innova® 3731 SF6 system utilizes the ultra-sensitive photoacoustic sensing technique to provide a leak detection solution that monitors large switchgear rooms. The system verifies that GIS equipment operates below the 0.5% yearly leakage rate, which is the industrial target. And the 3731 system quickly detects any excessive increase in the leak rate.
Analog output is available for detection trending over time. Measurements are also stored in the internal memory. They can be exported to a remote LAN computer via the user-friendly software interface.
Benefits
- Calibrate the monitor once a year (no equipment outage needed)
- Lower costs
- Set up tasks using either the remote/offline software or the front panel push-keys
- Enable a direct and integral leak detection solution that can monitor large switchgear rooms
- Achieve exceptional accuracy
Features
- Standalone Multipoint SF6 leak monitor with superior photoacoustic detection (detection limit = 6 ppb)
- Independent from pressure or density readings
- Highly reliable and stable
- Extensive sampling-point distribution over the whole enclosed substation
- Monitor and sampler units are rack-mountable on a standard 19 in chassis

Measurement Specifications
Detection Limit
0.006 ppm at 5 SIT
Dynamic Range
Typically four orders of magnitude (i.e. 10,000 times the detection limit at 5 SIT); using two-span concentrations it can be expanded to five orders of magnitude
Repeatability
1% of measured value
(Measured at 20°C, 1013 mbar, and relative humidity (RH): 60% (a concentration of 100x detection limit4 was used in determining these specifications)Interference
The 3731 automatically compensates for temperature and pressure fluctuations in its analysis cell and can compensate for water vapor in the air sample; if an optical filter is installed to measure a known interferent, the 3731 can cross compensate for the interferent
Internal Data Storage Capacity
The total space available in display memory to store data ia 131072 measurement cycles; one cycle is measurement of SF6 and water vapor on a given channel
