Bsens: Bushing Sensor

The document discusses a bushing sensor product called BSENS that monitors the condition of transformer bushings. It can detect faults like leakage current, partial discharge, temperature and moisture ingress to prevent bushing failures. The sensor installs on bushing taps and measures parameters like capacitance, dissipation factor and partial discharge signals.

BSENS Bushing Sensor for Improved Transformer Reliability
to Avoid Bushing Failure

Bushing failures can be caused by transient overvoltage’s,


temperature fluctuations, as well as by the ingress of
moisture, which can quickly lead to failure of bushing
insulation or even to a major transformer failure.

Our BSENS continually perform online condition monitoring of transformer bushings through regular
time-based diagnostics. Bushing adaptors are installed at the bushing test tap or voltage tap. Being
a function of phase ground voltage and impedance of the bushing insulation, leakage current passes
through the tap adaptors flowing to ground through capacitance, any imbalance in the impedance of
the insulation will lead to variation in leakage current.
The measured leakage current from BSENS provides following outputs:
Capacitance
Tan δ or Dissipation Factor
Partial Discharge Signals
Bushing Sensors for Tan δ and Capacitance monitoring are based on measuring Leakage Current in
the range of 1mA to 200mA which also additionally provides HF signals between 100 kHz – 25 MHz
for PD monitoring.
We at Rugged Monitoring have 45+ different bushing tap adaptors designed to cover most of the
bushings aiding in faster system commissioning. Our standard sensors are designed for bushings
with rated voltage of upto 1500 kV.
