TOTUS BM Bushing Monitor

A transformer monitoring solution for partial discharges in bushings.

How TOTUS BM Helps

Bushing failures are a leading cause of transformer failure, with almost half resulting in catastrophic events. The TOTUS BM provides reliable and intuitive monitoring of internal insulation and the internal electrical activity, enabling detection of faults while they’re still in their infancy. So, you can take remedial action before the fault reaches critical levels—protecting your people, assets, and networks.

What TOTUS BM Delivers

Partial Discharge (PD) Triangle

Highlights the presence, intensity and location of Partial Discharges (PD) in the transformer, using a simple, colour-coded tool.

Automated noise rejection

Applies patented algorithms to detect, identify and automatically reject noise, focusing only on relevant PD activity.

PD fault location accuracy

Separates PD activity in bushings from the main tank, ensuring faster and more accurate fault location, diagnosis and maintenance.

Data trending analysis

Correlates PD activity with critical operating parameters, identifying specific failure modes before they escalate.

How the Partial Discharge Triangle Prevents Transformer Failure

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. This empowers asset managers to quickly identify which transformers have active PD and which are PD-free, for more efficient screening of asset fleets. So, you can focus your time, resources and budgets where they matter most.
