Bender have unique and extensive experience in the Offshore Oil Industry supplying insulation monitoring and earth fault location systems for fixed and mobile installations, , FPSO’s, ESP’s subsea installations (remote well heads) and ROV umbilical power systems.

Covering a wide range of power systems voltages to AC 11KV and DC>500V with the latest in On and Off-line insulation monitoring systems, we are able to offer applications advice for all your offshore power systems installations.

Insulation monitoring combined with on-insulation fault location offers operators the ultimate solution for 110/230/380/440/690 low voltage main,drilling and process distribution systems. Continuous insulation monitoring provides the ideal maintenance tool, with long term trend insulation level data being made available for the installation SCADA system, to allow electrical maintenance to be intelligently and cost effectively planned to requirement, rather than to fixed time periods. Combined with automatic on-line earth fault location to accurately and quickly pinpoint faulty circuits these systems ensure that vessel power system security and process continuity is greatly enhanced.

Power systems supplying remote sea bed installations via fixed umbilical’s or dynamic umbilical’s feeding ROV’s are common applications for Bender insulation monitors. In both applications continuous insulation monitoring with data being made available for trend logging and hard failure alarms are provided to ensure safe operation and to enable problems to be addressed prior to system shutdown.
