TOTUS

Oil-gas and electrical measurements feed diagnostic software that compares component condition and flags emerging faults. Transformer asset managers review the alarms and fleet trends when assigning maintenance and investment.

About TOTUS

Transformer condition monitoring combines gas, insulation and moving-component measurements for the team responsible for critical electrical assets. Camlin Group provides the TOTUS family, a modular arrangement of monitors and diagnostic software. Asset managers use its received measurements to examine developing faults and plan maintenance across individual transformers or a fleet.

The gas monitors measure dissolved gases and moisture in transformer oil. G5 measures five gases, while G9 adds a nine-gas profile. Bushing monitoring checks insulation and partial discharge, the small electrical discharges associated with insulation defects. The on-load tap-changer monitor tracks switching operations, motor current, position, torque and temperature. Native Modbus communication links the selected equipment with other systems, and communication modules add DNP3 or IEC 61850 interfaces.

TOTUSPRO Web, the device's embedded browser software, presents diagnostic values and graphical condition information. Desktop tools let specialists investigate failure modes and import earlier data, while fleet software gives asset managers a combined view. Alarms, data trends and health indexing help the team prioritise an asset for assessment. Installation, commissioning, training and specialist condition-assessment services support the selected monitoring programme.

How it works

Sense
Measure oil gases and selected transformer component signals.
Connect
Send selected readings through native Modbus or added interfaces.
Analyze
Correlate gas, insulation and tap-changer condition records.
Act
Review alarms and prioritise transformer maintenance work.

Questions and answers

Which gases does the G5 oil monitor measure?

G5 measures hydrogen, methane, ethylene, acetylene and carbon monoxide, plus moisture in transformer oil.

How does the tap-changer module assess switching condition?

TOTUS OLTC records switching operations and monitors tap position, motor current, torque and temperature.

Which communication protocols can connect the monitor to utility systems?

Modbus is native, with selected communication modules providing DNP3 or IEC 61850.

Can specialists examine data without using fleet software?

Yes. TOTUSPRO Web is embedded in the device, while TOTUSPRO Desktop adds deeper investigation and import of offline data.
