GE has introduced the Intellix BMT 300, a bushing monitoring system for transformers that can detect and diagnose problems before they occur, helping improve power reliability at utilities. July 9, ...

IDAHO FALLS – Keeping the nation’s lights on is no small job. The grid we take for granted involves large, expensive equipment, most notably power transformers. If one goes down, it can take more than ...

The addition of flexural stiffeners on the transformer cover plates was explored as a means to stiffen the base of the bushings and mitigate their seismic vulnerability. Numerical and experimental ...

Across North America, electric utility infrastructure is aging. As infrastructure reaches the end of its life, utilities are faced with the inevitable expense of replacing costly equipment, such as ...

Electrica signature analysis (ESA) uses the magnetic field in the air gap of an electrical machine to evaluate power quality conditions. Dry and oil transofrmer types are subject to problems ...
