C50 Bushing Monitor
The C50 Bushing Monitor makes condition monitoring easy and affordable. It looks at the condition of your assets so that you can use real-time data to make decisions about your high voltage transformers.
What areas of a transformer does the C50 monitor?
The C50 Monitors
-
- Power Factor and Capacitance
- Partial Discharge
- On Load Tap Changers
- Internal and Ambient Temperatures
- Multi-gas DGA
- Cooling System
- Bushing Health
What percentage of bushing failures become catastrophic?
According to industry experts, 50% of bushing failures end in fires. The C50 Bushing Monitor helps prevent catastrophic failure by providing real-time bushing data during all weather conditions, loads, and at rated voltage, with the same sensitivity as an offline measurement.
What is the difference between bushing monitoring technologies: Sum of Currents vs Voltage Reference?
There are two predominant technologies used for online bushing monitoring. The C50 Bushing Monitor offers both technologies.
- First, the Sum of Currents methodology monitors for imbalance in the bushing leakage current to detect deterioration of bushings. Under balanced system conditions, the vector sum of leakage currents is zero, assuming the power factor and capacitance of each bushing is identical.
- Second, Voltage reference calculates power factor from the bushing leakage current and voltage reference signal for detecting degradation of bushings. Each bushing is measured independently when using the voltage reference technique, making it less affected by grid fluctuations.
How do I see the data?
The C50 Bushing Monitor can be fully integrated into a C50 Transformer Monitor System allowing all data from the transformer and bushings to be consolidated into a single monitor. This easy to configure platform can integrate data from 3rd party devices such as multi-gas DGA monitors. The web-based tools consolidate all critical operating data for viewing and analysis into a single point.
