INTRODUCTION

Product Overview

The Intellix ™ BMT 330 is a monitoring system that continuously:
 Measures the condition of transformer bushings (through changes in
Capacitance and Power Factor)
 Detects any Partial Discharges (PD) activity in the transformer main tank;
(measured as high frequency pulses).
All measurements and alarms can be reported to a remote monitoring centre via
either the standard RS485 connection, one of the other communications options, or
manually downloaded in situ. The Intellix™ BMT 330 is supplied with BMT Setup
Software, which is the subject of this user manual.

Scope

This user manual covers the companion BMT Setup Software:
 Its installation on a PC.

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by
the manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
The Intellix BMT 330 does not require periodic
maintenance. However, if the transformer bushings are
replaced by a similar bushing then the Bushing Adaptor
circuit integrity checks shall be implemented and the
bushing nominal parameters updated before the
transformer is returned to service. Refer to the
Installation manual. If the bushing is replaced by a
mechanically and/or electrically different bushing a
new Bushing Adaptor will be required.
If the transformer bushings are subjected to routine
maintenance, then the Bushing Adaptor circuit integrity
checks should be implemented before the transformer
is returned to service. Refer to the Installation manual.
