TOTUS BM Bushing Monitor

Bushings are a leading cause of transformer failures, with almost half of all failures resulting in catastrophic events. TOTUS BM bushing monitoring provides visibility of faults to protect people, assets, and networks.

Product overview

The TOTUS BM, part of the TOTUS transformer monitoring suite, provides reliable and intuitive monitoring for partial discharge in bushings. Monitoring of internal insulation and the internal electrical activity (PD) enables asset managers to detect a fault in its infancy, allowing remedial action to be taken before reaching critical levels.

Key features

Partial Discharge (PD) Triangle

A simple, colour-coded visual tool highlights the presence, intensity and location of Partial Discharges (PD) in the transformer.

Automated noise rejection

Partial discharges in transformers can be difficult to interpret often mistaken for “noise”. Using unique, patented algorithms, TOTUS detects, identifies, and automatically rejects noise, focusing only on relevant PD activity.

PD fault location accuracy

TOTUS separates PD activity in Bushings from the main tank ensuring faster and accurate fault location, diagnosis and targeted maintenance.

PD data trending analysis

By correlating PD activity with critical operating parameters, operators can identify reveals patterns that can identify specific failure modes before they escalate.

Prevent unplanned outages and protect your transformers with TOTUS BM Bushing monitoring

Gain the insight and early warning you need to protect your transformer bushings from failure. With continuous insulation monitoring and PD detection, you can identify developing faults early, reduce risk, and take proactive steps to safeguard asset health.

Benefits of TOTUS Bushing Monitor

Prevent catastrophic failures

Detect developing faults before they escalate to explosions, fires, protecting people, assets and operations.

Reduce unplanned outages

Minimize downtime with continuous, real-time insights that enable proactive maintenance planning.

Lower operation and maintenance costs

Avoid costly emergency repairs and premature asset replacements by using condition-driven maintenance to act before problems escalate.

Extend transformer lifespan

Protect your investment by addressing issues early, maximising asset lifespan and avoiding long lead-time replacements.

Partial Discharge (PD) Triangle

With large amounts of partial discharge monitoring data, asset managers often face the challenge of understanding which transformers are affected by PD.

The PD Triangle provides a simple, colour-coded visual image showing the presence, intensity, and phase of PD activity. Asset managers can quickly identify which transformers have active PD and which are PD-free, enabling efficient screening of asset fleets.

With a clear view of asset health, you can focus time, resources, and budgets where they matter most.
