Transformers are critical assets that are an essential part of power grid systems. They act as the unsung heroes that silently work their way to power our homes, businesses and industries.
Considering their crucial role, it only makes sense that keeping them in optimal condition becomes priority for asset managers. This is where transformer monitoring plays a pivotal role in managing this asset.
With precise monitoring, all the key parameters of it are kept in check. The tracking ensures detection of potential anomalies early on and prevents breakdowns that might happen. It enables asset managers to take predictive maintenance strategies keeping the health of transformers in the best condition possible.
One of the groundbreaking transformer monitoring solutions - TOTUS is set to be featured at this year’s MEE 2024 Exhibition. It is a product from Camlin that has the impressive capacity of delivering a clear picture of transformers overall health.
You can visit Dutco Tennant’s showcase at the event in Hall 5, Booth D10 to have an in-depth knowledge about this product. But before you make an appearance, how about we give you a little overview of how this solution delivers its high-profile performance.
What Is TOTUS?
TOTUS is a data-driven solution that gives a complete view of transformer health. With the help of TOTUS, asset managers can overcome some of the key challenges of transformer maintenance. Some of them are –
- Multiple transformer assets management
- Collection of relevant data for informed decision-making
- Getting through the noise to obtain and focus on critical data
- Trusting the obtained data for effective transformer tracking
- Development of sustainable transformer strategy
How Does TOTUS Manage to Monitor Full Transformer Health?
TOTUS leaves no stones unturned when it comes to transformer monitoring. This means it is capable of monitoring all the components on a transformer.
It integrates Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA), Partial Discharge (PD), Bushing Monitoring (BM), Through Fault Currents (TFC) and Transformer Analytics into a single system. It supports a full DGA profile where it monitors up to 9 gases.
TOTUS goes above and beyond by not just monitoring but also correlating all critical components in the main tank including PD, high energy event, TFC and of course DGA. In addition, this transformer solution utilises integrated intelligence and analytics for delivering reliable and intuitive PD monitoring in the Bushings.
Moreover, TOTUS also has the ability to track and combine key parameters such as motor current, tap position and temperatures to identify deviations that happen overtime.
Its capabilities gives it the power to look at a transformer's health in a clear picture. Therefore, empowering asset managers to take the right foot forward in the transformer's maintenance plan.
