Bushing Tap Protector (BTP)

Built to protect. Proven to perform.

Very Fast Transients (VFTs) are high-frequency electrical disturbances that can occur in power systems. These transients pose a significant risk to critical components such as bushings, potentially leading to their degradation or failure. Given the vital role bushings play in ensuring the reliability and safety of power systems, their failure can result in substantial economic losses and safety hazards.

The Bushing Tap Protector mitigates these risks as it is designed to minimize and prevent bushing failures caused by VFTs and other transient conditions, especially under the demanding operating environments of modern power systems.

When bushings are equipped with online monitoring systems, the need for protection becomes even more critical. Online monitoring provides valuable real-time insights into bushing health and introduces additional exposure to transient events. The Bushing Tap Protector acts as a safeguard, ensuring the integrity of both the bushing and the monitoring system.

The Bushing Tap Protector is recommended to be installed in all applications where online bushing monitoring is used. This protects the equipment and the operator’s investment while ensuring reliability.

Key Benefits of Bushing Tap Protector

Very Low Inductance
The protector’s low inductance allows it to absorb voltage spikes quickly, preventing potential damage.
Fast Operation to Protect C2
It limits the impact of sudden voltage spikes. This prevents damage to the C2 tap, which monitors the bushing condition.
Long Service Life
The protector has several protective branches working in parallel. This design ensures it can last for the entire service life of the transformer bushing.
No Interference with Monitoring
During normal operation, the protector does not interfere with the signal used for online monitoring. This ensures accurate and reliable data collection.
Tested for All Applications
The device has been tested across a wide range of power system setups. It is proven to work reliably in all types of installations.
Durable and Easy to Install
It is built to withstand harsh mechanical and environmental conditions. Installation is simple and does not require special tools or complex procedures.
