Failures in power transformer windings account for over 40% of transformer failures.
The key challenge for asset managers is finding power transformer faults in their infancy, allowing more time for decisions to be made resulting in less expensive maintenance. Manual sampling of dissolved gas analysis (DGA) can result in delayed discovery of faults, and often faults have progressed causing dissolved gas analysis changes in transformer oil.
TOTUS monitors all key areas (not only DGA analysis) within the main tank of the power transformer and correlates data for asset managers for early fault diagnoses and detection. Featuring embedded advanced alarm management, TOTUS drives efficient maintenance scheduling for asset managers, with alerts only triggered when there is an issue with the power transformer.
DGA online monitoring enables proper condition based monitoring to drive efficiency
TOTUS is monitoring your power transformer 24/7, 365 days, enabling early warning and diagnoses of faults, providing reliable trending of data which can be trusted to make the correct decisions.
Key benefits include:
Listen to in-house expert and customer experience manager Patrick Donnelly talk about the key benefits of our DGA technology.
The TOTUS online monitoring solution uses field proven Photoacoustic spectroscopy technology, engineered to provide the highest standards in safety and reliability. Our technology even has roots in the International Space Station, assuring the safety of astronauts.
At Camlin Energy we provide high performance asset monitoring solutions which deliver maximum accuracy and reliability for customers.
The Challenge
DGA is typically used to detect discharge of high energy (D2), with Acetylene being the primary marker. The challenge for asset managers is little visibility on when the arc occurred and in which phase and winding, as well as no tracking on the number of arcing events.
TOTUS Value
Whereas other monitors can provide basic information identifying acetylene in the transformer, TOTUS delves deeper into arcing activities, identifying the phase and winding, as well as visibility on the number of arcing events. They key benefit is the ability to correlate the data and generate a deeper understanding of changes in the transformer.
Challenge
Asset managers are facing increasing time constraints coupled with reductions in man power all while facing critical decisions every day on transformer health. Often fast decision making is required and access to accurate and real time information is critical.
TOTUS Value
TOTUS provides quick embedded and intuitive assessment of transformer health, with no need to send data to a server or run complex analytics. Our condition group correlation correlates PD, Bushings & DGA via an easy to configure web portal, with no additional software required. TOTUS Enables full fleet condition view for asset managers.
Challenge
The largest cause of transformer failures is due to external events. In particular through faults are responsible for 20%+ of failures. Visibility of the impact of through faults to the transformer is challenging for asset managers.
TOTUS Value
Understanding which transformer is more effected than others plus visibility of the integrity of paper insulation can help assess the mechanical strength of the transformer and the risk for mechanical damages. We monitor the stress caused by through faults and the cellulose ageing due to combined action of temperatures, moisture and oxygen.
