TXpert™ BM , real-time transformer bushing monitoring
enabled by CoreTec 4
TXpertTM BM is our newest solution for
bushing monitoring, enabled by CoreTec 4.
Reliable real time monitoring provides a
powerful insight into the condition of the
bushing - a critical component in all
electrical networks, as it brings current at
high voltage through a grounded barrier -
and gives you an early warning of
incipient faults developing in a bushing to
assure a transformer continuously
delivers optimal performance.
