4.2 Function description
The product is a monitoring system and is used to monitor capacitance
graded bushings on power transformers. You can use the product to detect
breakdowns at partial capacitances in the bushings and to monitor aging in
the bushings.
In order to evaluate the state of the bushing, the bushings are equipped with
a measuring device with which the system can continuously determine the
change in capacitance ΔC1 and the change in dissipation factor Δtanδ of the
bushings during operation. In addition, the system records the voltage of the
3-phase reference system.
The monitoring system takes advantage of the implemented algorithms to
largely compensate for voltage fluctuations and temperature fluctuations in
the 3-phase system, thereby ensuring reliable monitoring for the bushings.
Figure2: Operating principle
4.3 Performance features
The MSENSE® BM monitoring system monitors the bushings of a power
transformer and has the following features:
▪ Monitoring of oil-impregnated paper bushings (OIP) and resin-impreg-
nated paper bushings (RIP) at voltage levels of Um = 123...420 kV (with
voltage levels up to 765 kV on request)
▪ Optional: Monitoring of 6 bushings, where 3 bushings each form one set
(field 1 and field 2)
▪ Online monitoring of the bushing by means of capacitance measurement
and dissipation factor measurement
– Monitoring the change in capacitance C1
– Monitoring the change in the dissipation factor tanδ
– 3-phase reference system (e.g. voltage transformer)
In the Local operating mode, you can make entries and input commands using the device's operating controls. You cannot use inputs or the control system to make entries or enter commands.
Remote mode (REMOTE)
In the Remote operating mode, you can make entries and carry out commands using digital inputs or the control system, depending on the setting of
the Remote behavior [►Section 8.3.3, Page 64] parameter.
The bushing adapter is used to pick up the measured voltage at the bushing
test tap. The downstream bushing coupling unit is used to adjust the measured voltage. Both components are tuned to the bushings to be monitored
in accordance with your order. They may be used only for those bushings.

5.2 Transportation, receipt and handling of shipments
Danger of death or severe injury!
Danger of death or serious injuries due to tipping or falling load.
► Only transport the crate when closed.
► Do not remove the securing material used in the crate during transport.
► If the product is delivered on a pallet, secure it sufficiently.
► Only trained and authorized persons may select the sling gear and se-
cure the load.
► Do not walk under the suspended load.
► Use means of transport and lifting gear with a sufficient carrying capacity
in accordance with the weight stated on the delivery slip.
In addition to oscillation stress, jolts must also be expected during transportation. In order to prevent possible damage, avoid dropping, tipping,
knocking over and colliding with the product.
If a crate tips over, falls from a certain height (e.g. when slings tear) or is
subject to an unbroken fall, damage must be expected regardless of the
weight.
Every delivered shipment must be checked for the following by the recipient
before acceptance (acknowledgment of receipt):
▪ Completeness based on the delivery slip
▪ External damage of any type
The checks must take place after unloading when the crate or transport container can be accessed from all sides.
Visible damage If external transport damage is found upon receipt of the shipment, proceed
as follows:
▪ Immediately record the identified transport damage in the shipping docu-
ments and have this countersigned by the carrier.
▪ In the event of severe damage, total loss or high damage costs, immedi-
ately notify the manufacturer and the relevant insurance company.
▪ After identifying damage, do not modify the condition of the shipment fur-
ther and retain the packaging material until an inspection decision has
been made by the transport company or the insurance company.
▪ Record the details of the damage immediately on site together with the
carrier involved. This is essential for any claim for damages.
▪ Photograph damage to packaging and packaged goods. This also applies
to signs of corrosion on the packaged goods due to moisture inside the
packaging (rain, snow, condensation).
▪ NOTICE! If the product is delivered in sealed packaging, inspect this im-
mediately. If the sealed packaging is damaged, do not under any circumstances install or commission the packaged goods. Either re-dry the dried
packaged goods as per the operating instructions, or contact the manufacturer to agree on how to proceed. Failure to do so may result in damage to the packaged goods.
▪ Identify the damaged parts.
Hidden damage When damages are not determined until unpacking after receipt of the ship-
ment (hidden damage), proceed as follows:
▪ Make the party responsible for the damage liable as soon as possible by
telephone and in writing, and prepare a damage report.
▪ Observe the time periods applicable to such actions in the respective
country. Inquire about these in good time.
With hidden damage, it is very hard to make the transportation company (or
other responsible party) liable. Any insurance claims for such damages can
only be successful if relevant provisions are expressly included in the insurance terms and conditions.
5.3 Storage of shipments
Packaged goods dried by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen
Upon receipt of the shipment, immediately remove the packaged goods
dried by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen from the sealed packaging and store
air-tight in dry insulating fluid until used if the packaged goods were not supplied in insulating fluid.
Non-dried packaged goods
Non-dried packaged goods but with a functional sealed packaging can be
stored outdoors when the following conditions are complied with.
When selecting and setting up the storage location, ensure the following:
▪ Protect stored goods against moisture (flooding, water from melting snow
and ice), dirt, pests such as rats, mice, termites and so on, and against
unauthorized access.
▪ Store the crates on timber beams and planks as a protection against ris-
ing damp and for better ventilation.
▪ Ensure sufficient carrying capacity of the ground.
▪ Keep entrance paths free.
▪ Check stored goods at regular intervals. Also take appropriate action after
storms, heavy rain or snow and so on.
Protect the packaging foil from direct sunlight so that it does not disintegrate
under the influence of UV rays, which would cause the packaging to lose its
sealing function.
If the product is installed more than 6 months after delivery, suitable measures must be taken without delay. The following measures can be used:
▪ Correctly regenerate the drying agent and restore the sealed packaging.
▪ Unpack the packed goods and store in a suitable storage space (well ven-
tilated, as dust-free as possible, humidity < 50% where possible).

To install the bushing adapter, proceed as follows:
1. Remove the cap for the bushing test tap. Store the cap in a safe place for
possible operation of the bushing later without the monitoring system.
2. Ensure that the test tap and the bushing adapter are dry and free of dirt. If
this is not the case, clean and dry them with a cloth.
3. Ensure that the sealing ring of the bushing adapter is present and positioned correctly.
Figure14: Checking the sealing ring (bushing adapter A001 and A002)
4. NOTICE! Install the bushing adapter at the bushing test tap. During the
installation, ensure that the tightening torque corresponds to the specifications from the bushing manufacturer regarding installing the cap on the
test tap. Otherwise damage to the bushing may result.
Figure15: Installing the bushing adapter (example using bushing adapter A002)
You can also use your own supporting plate instead of the provided supporting plate. In this case, you must ensure that the bushing coupling unit is
continuously connected to the transformer tank by a low-resistance connection (e.g. via lock washers under the screw heads of the M4 fixing screws).
The necessary dimensions for the holes can be found in the technical data
for the bushing coupling unit [►Section 14.2, Page 146].
Carry out the operating steps listed below on all bushings.
The bushing coupling unit must be fastened to the bushing flange near the
bushing adapter. To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the cover bolts for the bushing coupling unit and lift off the cover.

6.5 Connecting the device
6.5.1 Cable recommendation
Please note the following Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen recommendation
when wiring the device.
Excessive line capacitance can prevent the relay contacts from breaking the
contact current. In control circuits operated with alternating current, take into
account the effect of the line capacitance of long control cables on the function of the relay contacts.
If you want to route Ethernet connections from a control cabinet or building,
we recommend the use of fiber-optic cables (in accordance with the IEC
61850-90-4 recommendation).
Figure28: Example of a soldered shielding on a plug housing
6.5.3 Information about laying fiber-optic cable
To ensure the smooth transfer of data via the fiber-optic cable, you must ensure that mechanical loads are avoided when laying the fiber-optic cable and
later on during operation. Also observe the information from the manufacturer of the fiber-optic cable and the following instructions:
▪ Radii must not fall below the minimum permissible bend radii (do not bend
fiber-optic cable).
▪ The fiber-optic cables must not be over-stretched or crushed. Observe the
permissible load values.
▪ The fiber-optic cables must not be twisted.
▪ Be aware of sharp edges because they can damage the fiber-optic cable's
coating during laying or can place mechanical loads on the coating later
on.
▪ Provide a sufficient cable reserve near distributor cabinets. Lay the re-
serve such that the fiber-optic cable is neither bent nor twisted when tightened.
6.5.4 Connecting the bushing adapter to the bushing coupling unit
The bushing adapter must be connected to the bushing coupling unit with
the connection cable provided. To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Ensure that the plug of the connection cable and the connections of the
bushing adapter and bushing coupling unit are dry and free of dirt. If this is
not the case, clean and dry them with a cloth.
2. Ensure that the plug of the connection cable and the U connection of the
bushing coupling unit are dry and free of dirt. If this is not the case, clean
and dry them with a cloth.
3. Attach the connection cable plug to the U connection of the bushing coupling unit and screw it in place.
Figure31: Connecting the connection cable to the bushing coupling unit
4. NOTICE! Laying the connection cable on the transformer to the control
cabinet. When laying the cable, observe the minimum permitted bending
radius of 50 mm and take precautions to protect the cable from mechanical damage (e.g. protective tubes). Otherwise the connection cable may
become damaged.
Figure32: Laying the connection cable to the control cabinet
5. Shorten the connection cable to the desired length.
Connecting the connection cable in the control cabinet
The connection cable must be connected to the terminal in the control cabinet in accordance with the connection diagram. The cable shielding must be
attached to the grounding bar using a shielding terminal.
Figure33: Connection of the connection cable in the control cabinet
1 Connection terminal2 Shielding terminal

1. Remove 50 mm of outer insulation from the cable. Ensure that the shielding is not damaged when doing so.
Routing information for connecting the control system or visualization
When connecting the device to a control system or to your network for accessing the visualization, observe the following recommendation on the cable routing in the control cabinet:
Figure41: Recommendation on the cable routing in the control cabinet for the connection of the
control system or visualization
6.5.8 Connecting the power supply
You may only connect the control cabinet to circuits with an external overcurrent protection device and an isolating device with all poles disconnected
so the equipment can be fully de-energized if required (service, maintenance
etc.).
Suitable equipment includes isolating devices in accordance with IEC
60947-1 and IEC 60947-3 (e.g. circuit breaker). Note the properties of the
relevant circuits (voltage, maximum currents) when selecting the circuit
breaker type. In addition, observe the following:
▪ It must be easy for the operator to access the isolating device
▪ The isolating device must be labeled for the device and circuits to be iso-
lated
▪ The isolating device may not be a part of the power line
▪ The isolating device may not interrupt the main protective conductor
You must connect the power supply circuit with a conductor cross-section of
at least 2.5 mm2 (AWG 13) and protect it with a C6A or B6A type miniature
circuit breaker.
7.1 Determining the capacitance and dissipation factor of the
bushings
To ensure that the bushings are in the proper condition, Maschinenfabrik
Reinhausen GmbH recommends taking an initial measurement on new
bushings when commissioning the bushing monitoring. If you are retrofitting
the bushing monitoring on bushings already in operation, an initial measurement is absolutely essential.
To do this, use a suitable measuring device (Schering bridge) to measure
the capacitance C1 and dissipation factor tanδ on the fitted bushings. Follow
the notes in the operating instructions from the bushing manufacturer.
Enter the measured values in the measured value log [►Section 15.1, Page
157].
7.2 Establishing connection to visualization
You can use the ETH1.1 interface or the optional ETH2.2 interface of the
CPU assembly to establish the connection to the visualization. The interfaces do not use a DHCP server. Therefore, you must assign a static IP address to your PC. To do this, observe the following configuration example:
Establishing a connection via the ETH1.1 interface
To establish a connection via the ETH1.1 interface, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the PC and device using an Ethernet cable (RJ45 plug) via the
ETH1.1 interface.
Figure42: Establishing a connection via the front interface
2. Assign a unique IP address to the PC in the same subnet as the device
(e.g. 192.168.165.100).
3. Enter the visualization's IP address http://192.168.165.1, or if SSL
encryption is active enter https://192.168.165.1, on the PC in the
browser.
ð The visualization is accessed.
Establishing a connection via the ETH2.2 interface on the CPU module
(optional)
The device is supplied with the IP address 192.0.1.230 at the factory. If
you have changed the IP address, you can view the IP address in the Communication menu.
To connect via the ETH2.2 interface, proceed as follows:
1. Connect the PC and device using an Ethernet cable (RJ45 plug) via the
ETH2.2 interface.
Figure43: Establishing a connection via the ETH2.2 interface on the back

▪ Time synchronization via SNTP time server
If you are using a control system, the device automatically synchronizes the
date and time with the control system. If you would like to use an SNTP time
server, you must set the required parameters.
When doing so, observe the information provided in the Time synchronization [►Section 8.15, Page 105] section.
7.5 Setting the parameters
Commissioning the device requires setting some parameters. You can set
the necessary parameters with the help of the commissioning assistant or
set each parameter individually.
7.5.1 Commissioning wizard
If you want the device to help when setting the relevant parameters, you can
use the commissioning wizard. The commissioning wizard provides a selection of parameters that you can configure in order.
A detailed description of each of the parameters can be found in the Operation [►Section 8, Page 60] chapter.
To call up the commissioning wizard, you will need the necessary access
rights [►Section 8.16, Page 109].
When in delivery status, you can log in as the administrator as follows:
To set the parameters with the help of the commissioning wizard, proceed
as follows:
1. Log in as a user with the necessary access rights.
2. Go to Settings > Commissioning wizard.
Figure45: Calling up the commissioning wizard
3. Press the Next button to launch the commissioning wizard.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
Once you have entered all of the parameters relevant to commissioning,
continue with the function test.
7.5.2 Setting the parameters manually
If bushing monitoring with the option "Monitoring of 6 bushings" is used, the
parameters for both field 1 (F1) and field 2 (F2) must be set. Field 1 and
field 2 each describe a set consisting of 3 bushings respectively. If bushing
monitoring with the option "Monitoring of 3 bushings" is used, only the parameters for field 1 are displayed.
Commissioning the bushing monitoring requires setting the following parameters:
Setting the transformer data for the reference system [►Section 8.5,
Page 68]
If you need a control system protocol [►Section 8.13, Page 84], you must
set the parameters required for this. More information on this (e.g. data
points) can be found in the enclosed supplement for the control system protocol.
7.6 Performing standardization
Once you have set all required parameters, you must perform a standardization for commissioning the device. The standardization is used to compensate for measurement tolerances along the measurement chain (bushing,
bushing adapter and bushing coupling unit).
Follow the notes on this in the following sections:
Please contact Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen GmbH (MR) if any aspect of
the tests is not clear.
7.7.1 Performing function tests
To check that the monitoring system is functioning correctly, proceed as follows:
1. Check the pending event messages [►Section 8.12.1, Page 81]. If event
messages are pending, resolve the cause of the event and acknowledge
the event.
7.7.2 Electrical high-voltage tests on the transformer
It is essential that you ensure only trained, instructed expert personnel who
are familiar with and comply with the pertinent safety and technical regulations, who are aware of the potential risks, and who consistently use the occupational safety equipment provided to prevent injury and property damage
are assigned to perform such a transformer test.
Note the following points before undertaking high voltage tests on the transformer:
▪ Check that the ground connections on the control cabinet and the control
cabinet fixings are free of paint.
▪ Only perform high voltage test if the control cabinet door is closed.
▪ Disconnect external connections to electronic components in the control
cabinet to prevent damage from overvoltage.
▪ Remove the bushing adapter and fit the cap of the bushing test tap.
▪ When connecting the control cabinet's supply voltage, only use the bush-
ings in the protective housing base intended for lead insertion.
▪ Guide all ground connecting leads to one central connection point (estab-
lishment of suitable reference earth).
▪ Disconnect all electronic components before the high voltage test. Before
a dielectric test of the wiring, remove all devices with a withstand voltage
of < 1,000V.
▪ Remove leads used for testing before the high voltage test as these func-
tion as antennas.
▪ Wherever possible, route the measurement leads and data leads sepa-
rately to the energy cables.
7.7.3 Dielectric tests on transformer wiring
Note the following points for dielectric testson the transformer wiring:
The monitoring system has been put through dielectric tests before delivery.
► Before the dielectric test for the transformer wiring, disconnect the moni-
toring system from the section to be tested to rule out increased component loading for those components fitted in the control cabinet.
This chapter describes all the functions and setting options for the device.

The device monitors the change in difference of capacitance C1 between the
phases. If the capacitance C1 of all three bushings changes in the same way
(e.g. due to a temperature change), the difference in capacitances ΔC1 remains constant.
If the capacitance of one or two bushings changes, the difference in capacitance also changes. If the difference in capacitance is greater than the set
limit value, the device triggers an event message.

1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Bushing monitoring > Bushing moni-toring field1/field2.
2. Select the desired parameter.
3. Set the parameter.
4. Press the Accept button to save the modified parameter.
F1/F2-C: Activate capacitance monitoring
You can use this parameter to activate or deactivate capacitance monitoring
in field 1 or field 2.
After being switched on, capacitance monitoring only becomes active once
a delay time has elapsed (factory setting of 2minutes) in order to avoid errors resulting from transients.
F1/F2-C: C1 Phase L1/L2/L3
You can use these parameters to set the reference capacitance C1 for the
bushings of phases L1, L2 and L3 in field 1 and field 2. The reference value
is the value you have measured with an external measuring device for commissioning [►Section 7.1, Page 53].
F1/F2 Limit values C: ΔC1 > and C: ΔC1 >>
You can set two limit values for monitoring the bushings in field 1 and field 2:
▪ F1/F2-C: ΔC1 >
▪ F1/F2-C: ΔC1 >>
If the limit values are exceeded, the monitoring system triggers an event
message and issues a signal at the digital output.
Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen recommends the following limit values: F1/F2C: ΔC1 >: 5%, F1/F2-C: ΔC1 >>: 10%
F1/F2-C: Perform standardization
You must perform standardization for field 1 and field 2 to commission the
monitoring system. The standardization is used to compensate for measurement tolerances along the measurement chain (bushing, bushing adapter
and bushing coupling unit).
Only perform the standardization while commissioning the monitoring system and with bushings in good condition. Otherwise correct bushing monitoring functionality cannot be guaranteed.
To perform the standardization, proceed as follows:
ü The transformer is in a stable state (typical load, no on-load tap-change
operation or significant change in the transformer load, thermally stabilized).
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Bushing monitoring > Bushing moni-toring field1/field2 > F1/F2-C: Perform standardization.
2. Select the Yes option.
3. Press the Accept button to perform the standardization.
ð The standardization is carried out and the parameter is reset to the No
option.
4. Check the event messages [►Section 8.12.1, Page 81] to see if the
standardization was performed successfully. If this is not the case, resolve
the cause of the error and repeat the standardization.
8.6.3 Configuring dissipation factor monitoring
The device monitors the change in the difference of the dissipation factor
tanδ between the phases. If the tanδ of all 3 phases changes in the same
way (e.g. due to a temperature change), the difference in the dissipation factor Δtanδ remains constant.
If the dissipation factor of one or two bushings changes, the difference in the
dissipation factor also changes. If the difference in the dissipation factor is
greater than the set limit value, the device triggers an event message.

If bushing monitoring with the option "Monitoring of 6 bushings" is used, the
parameters for both field 1 (F1) and field 2 (F2) must be set. Field 1 and
field 2 each describe a set consisting of 3 bushings respectively. If bushing
monitoring with the option "Monitoring of 3 bushings" is used, only the parameters for field 1 are displayed.
To monitor the dissipation factor of the bushings, you must set the following
parameters for commissioning the transformer:
You can use this parameter to activate or deactivate dissipation factor monitoring in field 1 or field 2.
After being switched on, dissipation factor monitoring only becomes active
once a delay time has elapsed (measured value display after approx. 7 minutes, monitoring after approx. 1 hour) in order to avoid errors resulting from
transients.
F1/F2-tanδ: tanδ phase L1/L2/L3
You can use these parameters to set the reference dissipation factor tanδ for
the bushings of phases L1, L2 and L3 in field 1 or field 2. The reference
value is the value you have measured with an external measuring device for
commissioning [►Section 7.1, Page 53].
Limit value F1/F2-tanδ: Δtanδ >
You can set a limit value for monitoring the bushings in field 1 or field 2. If
the limit value is exceeded, the monitoring system triggers an event message and issues a signal at the digital output.
You can use this parameter to perform a standardization of the dissipation
factor monitoring in field 1 and field 2. This clears all of the measured and
calculated values for dissipation factor monitoring.
To perform the standardization, proceed as follows:
1. Go to Settings > Parameters > Bushing monitoring > Bushing moni-toring field1/field2 > F1/F2-tanδ: Perform standardization.
2. Select the Yes option.
3. Press the Accept button to perform the standardization.
ð The standardization is carried out and the parameter is reset to the No
option.
4. Check the event messages [►Section 8.12.1, Page 81] to see if the
standardization was performed successfully.
8.6.4 Circuit breaker monitoring
You can configure up to 4 digital inputs for monitoring the status messages
of the circuit breakers in the reference system. This monitoring function is
used for detecting whether the reference system is active (circuit breaker in
ON position) or inactive (circuit breaker in OFF position).
If circuit breaker monitoring is configured and a circuit breaker is reported to
be in the OFF position, the device reacts as follows:
▪ Bushing monitoring is deactivated.
▪ You cannot perform standardization.
When configuring this function, refer to the section Configuring digital inputs
and outputs [►Section 8.11, Page 79].
If bushing monitoring with the option "Monitoring of 6 bushings" is used, you
can configure up to 4 inputs for field 1 (F1) and for field 2 (F2) respectively.
If bushing monitoring with the option "Monitoring of 3 bushings" is used, only
the inputs for field 1 are displayed. Bushing monitoring is only deactivated
for the respective field.
8.7 Displaying the state of the bushings
The device displays the current state of the bushings and the following measured values:
▪ Status indicator for the bushing based on the set limit values
– Gray: Everything OK
– Yellow: The capacitance difference ΔC1 is greater than the limit value
ΔC1 > or the dissipation factor difference Δtanδ is greater than the limit
value Δtanδ >
– Red: The capacitance difference ΔC1 is greater than the limit value
▪ ∆C1: Percentage deviation of the capacitance difference ΔC1 from the ref-
erence capacitance C1
▪ tanδ: Calculated (compensated) dissipation factor of the bushing

Flow Control) in the control field. You can select the following options:
OptionDescription
StandardThe device sets the DFC bit in each response to a com-
mand. The device thus indicates that the master may not
send any further commands. The master must react to
the ACD bit (Access Demand) and retrieve the response
to the command e.g. via a request for data of class 1
from the slave queue.
AlternativeThe device sets the DFC bit in a response if a second
command is received without the master having previously sent a request for data of class 1.
