Online Monitoring Identifies Rapidly Escalating Fault in 120 kV RIP Bushing

Real time insights that exposed a fast developing bushing defect and enabled safe, controlled replacement.

When faults develop in RIP bushings, issues can escalate rapidly, leaving operators with limited warning before failure.  Discover how TOTUS supported a utility to detect and prioritise immediate replacement of the emerging bushing failure.

Challenge

RIP bushings suffer high failure risk

Event
