SOFTWARE INSTALLATION
The Intellix BMT 300 setup software is supplied on a CD. To install the software, load the CD into your PCs DVD/CD drive, and the installer package should run automatically. If the installer does not run automatically, then use Windows Explorer to view the CDs directory structure. Select and double click on setup.exe in the root directory of the CD to start the Intellix BMT 300 Monitor installer. Note: the installation of a third-party run-time library requires the existence of a My Documents folder. If this folder does not exist the installation will fail. This error can also happen if your My Documents folder is on a network location which is not accessible at installer runtime. This issue can be fixed by assigning the My Documents folder. This can be done by either: a) Right-click on My Documents from the Start Menu or Desktop, select Properties, and edit the Target folder location field; or b) Edit the My Documents registry location directly. The key value can be found at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer \Shell Folders. If manual assignment of the My Documents folder doesn't solve the issue, then creating a temporary user account in Windows and running the installer from that location should. Editing the registry carries inherent risks. Make sure you are familiar with the registry before editing the registry, manually or programmatically. It is highly recommended to create a backup of the registry before modifying it.

CONFIGURATION OF Intellix BMT 300

Once the Intellix BMT 300 cabinet has been installed and all the sensors connected, the Intellix BMT 300 should be configured. Service-level access to the BMT 300 setup software is required; please refer to the companion BMT 300 Service Manual for instructions.

Figure 14: Alarm Statuses Tab

The Relay Control tab provides the means to control the BMT300 relays. On operational mode the Active relay on alarm is enabled. Thus the relays reflect the alarm statuses: Relay 1 (Service) is energized by default. If a service alarm is on or BMT300 loses power it will switch to off. Relay 2 (Warning) and Relay 3 (Alarm) is de-energized by default. If either of their respective alarms is on, the corresponding relay will switch to on.

Relays can be manually controlled by disabling the Active relay on alarm. Then the relays are not synchronized with the alarm statuses; and the user can manually switch the relays (by clicking on the relay switch icon and then click on write).

Measurement
The Measurement page displays the instantaneous measurements taken by the BMT 300, plus CANBUS and GPS values.

Figure 15: Measurement Page

Note: The expected phase angles for AB and AC are calculated and presented in the Bushing Current Settings page, and will be around 120 and -120 respectively. The PD Max displayed on this page is the maximum PD value for the cycle. The log file PD Max is the maximum value of the PD averaged over each cycle in the logging period. The Bushing Current fields are colour coded: Their background is red if there is no signal; yellow if beyond the threshold set in the Bushing Current settings page, see description at page 21. The Start button starts polling the instantaneous results. The label of the button then changes to Stop. Pressing the Stop button will cease polling. The Clear Error button resets the error counters in the Field Sensors error box.

APPENDIX 2 BUSHING ADAPTER CIRCUIT INTEGRITY TEST RECORD

The Bushing Adapter Circuit Integrity Test is to be carried out upon installation, and any time that the Bushings or Bushing Adapters are disturbed. The test procedure is: Ensure that the Transformer is switched off. The safety switches for the sensor cables in the cabinet are to be set to closed. Disconnect ALL of the coaxial cables at the plugs shown in Figure 19.

Figure 19: Disconnection of Interconnecting Co-ax

For each phase connection, in turn: 1. Record Maker Plate information: PF%, C1, C2 and T. Confirm that the measured bushings capacitance (Cb) is within 10% of the nominal C2. 2. Test the capacitance between the cable core and shield. This should be the sum of the measured bushing adaptors capacitance and the measured bushings capacitance (Cb). 3. Test the continuity between the sensor cable shield and ground at the cabinet, as shown in Figure 20 . It should be less than 5 Ohm. 4. Test the resistance between the sensor cable core and the shield, as shown in Figure 21. It must be within 5% of the nominal value of the bushing adapter (2xR in parallel; if R=1k then the measured R must be 500 5%. Note this as [R1].

5. Measure the resistance across the screws of the terminals (ie the input resistance of the PCB circuits, as shown in Figure 22. Note this as [R2]. Reconnect the coax plug of the phase. 6. Re-test the resistance across the 2 screws. This is the measured value of [R3]. 7. Calculate the theoretical value of [R3] using: [Rc] = [R1]x[R2]/([R1]+[R2]) Rc must be within 5% of the measured value of [R3] in step 6.
Figure 22: Measuring Motherboard Input Resistance

Note all of the above test values in a copy of this sheet. Repeat for the remaining phases. Store a completed copy of this record with the transformer maintenance documents.

8. Once the transformer is energized and whilst the Isolation/ grounding block is on the operational position, measure the voltage drop across the core and the shield at the block terminals of the co-axial cables connected to the bushing adaptors and record the values. The measured values voltages must be within the 0.61.5Vrms. This doesnt apply to the CT co-axial input.
