Protect Transformer and Other Assets with Continuous Power Factor/Tanδ Measurements
Unlike offline systems and procedures, BushingIQ measures insulation power factor continuously, under load and in all weather conditions. Using algorithms that simulate the trusted Schering Bridge technique, BushingIQ provides accurate and early indication of incipient bushing failure. It not only determines internal insulation integrity, but also identifies external issues that can affect performance, such as pollution-related surface contamination.
You can retrieve BushingIQ data on-site or remotely, hard wired or wirelessly, or via LCD touch panel display.
Communications options include:
- IEC 61850
- DNP3
- pcAnywhere™
- Windows RDP
- RJ45 Ethernet Interface
- RS232 or RS485 Serial Interface (ASCII)
The system can integrate with an existing SCADA system, as well as other analog sensor devices like on-line dissolved gas analysis (DGA) monitors. For a complete transformer monitoring solution, combine BushingIQ with the GridSense TransformerIQ.
PFLive – Affordable, On-demand Power Factor Monitoring
PFLive enables manual, low-cost insulation power factor measurement on transformer bushings, current transformers, circuit breakers, etc. Whereas BushingIQ provides online bushing monitoring 24/7, PF Live is a much smaller, lighter, lower-cost option that allows manual, online testing of bushing condition via your laptop.
