Transformer Monitoring for the Mining Industry

Reduce risk and maximize uptime

The Mining industry is one of the largest industrial consumers of electricity. Whether a Mine is connected to the grid or to a local distributed source of power, a transformer is the critical link to the source of power. If a transformer suffers an outage, this can result in partial or even complete loss of power for a prolonged period, significantly impacting revenues, and in serious cases, long lead times for a replacement.

To cut costs, many Mines are now moving towards more onsite power generation, often from renewable sources. By its nature, renewable power generation is intermittent and this places increased stress on transformers which are more suited to handling stable flows of power.

For maximum availability and uptime, it’s therefore important to understand how transformers are performing and to be aware of potential issues before they impact operations. By partnering with Camlin Energy, Mine operators can gain a deeper understanding of the risk, health, and performance of their electricity transformers through our online monitoring solution TOTUS.
