MONTRANO

MONTRANO continuously monitors the dielectric condition of insulation in bushings and inside power transformers under load. The system records changes in capacitance (C), dissipation/power factor (DF/PF), partial discharge (PD) and transient over-voltages. These are primary indicators of insulation breakdown, which can lead to transformer failure. Trend data allows you to quickly detect negative trends and plan corrective action early before failures occur.

MONTRANO can be implemented at any point of time during a transformer's lifetime. The system's modular design allows it to be easily customized and expanded to match your exact monitoring requirements.
