HV Bushing Monitoring & Partial Discharge Detection for Substation

Bushings account for a large proportion of High Voltage (HV) substation failures, often causing severe and costly damages. The Intellix BMT 330 is a HV bushing monitoring and partial discharge detection equipment to be used on substations detecting failures and issues efficiently and effectively.

Preventive maintenance, early replacement and regular offline testing has been employed to address this issue in the past. Now, technology exists that enables asset owners to detect impending failures and reduce their maintenance costs.
.
The Intellix BMT 330 is an online system that continuously monitors the condition of the bushings in real-time and can also detect developing Partial Discharge (PD) activity in the transformer main tank. It will alert personnel of fault conditions at an early stage and provide vital health information on the bushings and the transformer.

Furthermore, it provides end users with the information they are used to receiving from offline tests, namely changes in capacitance and power factor, to assess the bushing dielectric efficiency and insulation integrity.

NEWS | GE announces a new addition to its comprehensive portfolio of transformer monitoring & diagnostics solutions. The Intellix BMT 330 Bushing Monitoring & Partial Discharge detection system is an on-line system that continuously monitors the condition of transformer bushings and detects developing partial discharge (PD) activity in the transformer main tank on single phase or three phase substation transformers in utility and industrial applications. Bushings account for a large portion of transformer failures, often causing severe and costly damage. With this comprehensive active monitoring system, asset owners and operators are alerted to potential issues before they become critical failures – reducing equipment losses and costs associated with maintenance, asset replacement and system downtime.

The Intellix BMT 330 can be utilized as a standalone system or as an integrated solution with GE’s Kelman™ TRANSFIX Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) mutigas analyzer, Multilin 845 Transformer Protection System and Perception™ Fleet Management software to provide comprehensive situational awareness and visualization of the transformer’s condition and root cause of transformer failures.
