DOMINO ® Family of Moisture Sensors
DOMINO® Permanent Mount Sensors
The DOMINO family consists of both permanent mount and
portable instruments. Doble’s Moisture-in-Oil permanent
mount sensors measure moisture in oil in terms of ppm
and relative saturation (RS) as well as temperature.
Available in a variety of models, the
DOMINO continuously measures
moisture content and temperature
of electrical insulating liquids such
as transformer oils. DOMINO
provides results in parts per
million (ppm) , temperature and
relative saturation with accuracy consistent with traditional
laboratory titration methods.
These sensors provide an extremely reliable measurement
of the water content of electrical insulating liquids and
other types of oils.
DOMINO instruments measure the water content
continuously. The measuring technology is based on
the change of capacitance of a thin polymer film. The
determination of moisture in insulating liquids is an
essential part of any comprehensive maintenance or
diagnostic program.
The portable instruments which comprise the USS
systems not only measure moisture-in-oil but also have the
ability to measure the moisture in gas (dewpoint) including
non-arced SF6 gas.
DOMINO instruments are rugged and field-portable.
Even the permanent mount sensors can be easily moved
if so desired.

Module is the most effective way
to keep the F6150 protection test
instrument properly calibrated.
Using the F6080 will increase your
confidence in the accuracy of your
protection, meter and transducer
testing.
The F6860 option allows testing of protection schemes that
use IEC 61850-compliant IEDs (intelligent electronic devices)
with ease through an user friendly interface.
F6816 External I/O unit
The F6150 includes 8 logic inputs and 8 logic outputs.
If you have a need for additional contact inputs and/or
contact outputs, the F6816 is your solution.
This unit will provide you with 8 additional contact outputs
and inputs that you may need for extensive end-to-end
testing or dynamic testing where there is a need to monitor
several contacts or there is a need for simulating several
breakers.
The 8 outputs are divided into 4 relay type contacts and 4
electronic type contacts
All 8 input contacts are isolated and all are First Strike type
which means you can detect pulses as narrow as 10µs.
F6010 Controller
The F6010 Controller provides
stand-alone control functions for
F6150 Sources via the Ethernet or
Serial port of the F6150 Instrument.
F6300 High Power Current Amplifier

- bringing your realistic protection
scheme testing power to the next
level. The powerful combination
of the F6150 and the F6300
can evaluate the performance of
protection schemes for practically all
power system events.
The F5814 Recloser Test
Interface unit is designed
to interface between all 14
pin reclosers and the F6150
Power System Simulator.
It provides testing for the
control circuit independently
(in the Simulate mode) or a
complete functional test of the recloser (in the Operate mode).
In both modes, the F6150 supplies the simulated currents
to the F5814 which in turn is passed on to the controller. In
Simulate mode, the recloser is out of the circuit. The F5814
simulates the 52a and 52b contacts. These simulated
contacts produce the correct transitions as the controller
reacts to various levels of currents. The user can use either
the control panel feature of the F6150 or the ProTesT macros
to test minimum pickup, timing of the curves, etc. For
simulating the entire reclosing cycles, the ProTesT macro
SSIMUL is a very good tool.
Once the controller’s settings are verified with the Simulate
function, switching to the Operate mode will allow the control
signal to be passed through, thereby operating the recloser
itself and hence verify full functionality.
The use of ProTesT macros is recommended since the tests
conducted using these macros provides standardization and
tests are repeatable. In addition, the use of ProTesT allows for
report generation and the maintenance of the database.
F6350 Real Time Power System Simulation Interface
You can now convert your F6150 to a set of voltage and
current amplifiers whenever there is a need for such an
application. In this mode of operation, the F6150 converts
to a set of voltage and current ampliers. These amplifiers
can be controlled by RTDS. Hence low level signals from
the RTDS are fed to the F6350 via a special Doble furnished
cables. The output of the F6350 is amplified signals that
are supplied to the relays or protection schemes under test.
You can use multiple F6350 and get as many voltage and
current signals you require for complete testing of relays and
protection schemes.
If you only need additional current channels, you can use
F6300 instead of a second F6350 to get the required
number of current channels.
RTDS
An optional voltage cable is available for applying three
phase Source and Load voltages. This helps testing of the
supervised closing of the recloser.
ProTesT™ and F6TesT™ Automation Software Systems
These software programs
enable fully automated control
of Doble test instruments for
simplified, accurate testing
of protection schemes. The
software eliminates manual errors
to improve productivity. Relational
database architecture stores
protection settings, test methods and test history.
Protective Relay Under Test
Current/Voltage Amplifiers
The conversion of F6150 to F6350 is very simple. It requires
a simple replacement of a single I/O card and installation of
the firmware.
Converting the F6350 back to F6150 is also simple. Simply
replace the original I/O card and load the firmware needed
for F6150. This will convert your F6350 back into an F6150.
Current Probe (AC/DC)
Doble’s Current Probe (Part
Number 401-0055) is a tool
that aids in the measurement
of current signals when using
the recording feature of Doble’s
Transwin program.
This probe converts the current
in the conductor that it encircles
into an equivalent voltage signal.
This equivalent voltage signal when applied to the logic input
of the F6150 gets translated into appropriate amperes by the
Transwin program.
