Discover our innovative monitoring and management solutions that help energy operators secure better customer outcomes and realise greater returns from their network infrastructures.
Our train monitoring and signalling power solutions help railway operators keep their fleets running in peak condition.
At Camlin we’re engineering better futures. We want tomorrow to be better than today. For our customers. For their customers. For our own people. And for the wider world around us.
To ensure you are kept up to date with all the latest information on our market leading TOTUS Bushing and PD monitor we have put together a knowledge centre specifically for the team at Saudi Aramco. Here you will find a range of key information and updates from the Camlin team including Case Studies, Webinars, Brochures and Whitepapers.
Why Monitor Bushings?
According to statistics published by IEEE, IEC and CIGRE, bushings contribute to roughly 15-30% of transformer failures globally. In over 40% of cases, the failure resulted in catastrophic consequences such as fire, tank rupture and explosions.
The Solution
Online monitoring of bushings, through monitoring of internal insulation (capacitance / Tan Delta or Power Factor) and the internal electrical activity (Partial discharges) enables asset managers to detect a fault at its very preliminary stage, allowing action to be taken before reaching a critical and irreversible stage.
TOTUS allows for correlation and causation to determine failure modes, driving prescriptive actions.
New BrochureTOTUS is the ONLY Transformer Monitor that can separate PD in the Bushings from PD in the Main Tank.
Early detection of PD can significantly improve risk diagnosis, driving quick and accurate decision making. Recognising the PD pattern makes it possible to understand the nature of the defect and correlate with other parameters to determine the best technical action.
Online PD monitoring can:
Proven in the field to detect and identify:
The TOTUS Bushing Monitor has saved over $10M in damages to bushings for our customers including RIP bushings, thanks to monitoring a combination of leakage current & partial discharges.
Case Study AccessLearn more about our bushing monitoring solution by reading our paper on 'Bushing Failure Prevention Through Online Monitoring'.
TOTUS is the only solution to embed an online Health Index calculation combining DGA, PD & Bushing condition
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.
The use of a more holistic and integrated approach to transformer monitoring can significantly help to optimize maintenance and mitigate risk.
The Connecting Data to Decision Webinar Series, with Dr Marco Tozzi, will look at a number of investigative case studies demonstrating successful examples of when a utility was able to plan preventive actions and maintenance due to holistic monitoring of two or more parameters.
