Unlike contact temperature sensors or infrared spot sensors, our patented thermal image sensor, with its zoning feature, looks at each bus bar individually and reports the hottest temperature for each of them. The device can be mounted strategically inside the switchgear equipment or on the IR window.
Thermal Image Sensor
The ambient temperature measurement checks if your cooling is still operating and if the room has the desired temperature setting. Combined with the humidity sensors, it ensures that your equipment is running within limits.
Temperature & Humidity Sensors
Water is the enemy of electricity. Inside switchgear the smallest of water due to condensation or other may result in catastrophic failure.
Water Sensing Sensor & Cable
Dust accumulation within switchgear can lead to breakdown, corrosion, and overheating of electrical components. Over time, this can cause equipment malfunctions, failures, and even fire hazards.
Dust Sensor
Partial discharges resulting from the Corona effect, generate ozone gas. By digitally monitoring ozone gas levels in MV switchgear, PD events can be detected and alerts can be generated to maintenance staff for immediate inspection.
O3 Gas Sensing
Sensor detecting in real time the level of atmospheric corrosion for copper and silver based on the ANSI 71.04-2013 standard.
Corrosion Sensor
Vibration over time may cause cable and busbar connection points to come loose. This could release Ozone (O3) and cause a catastrophic event like an arc flash.
Shock Sensor
SF6 is widely used in medium and high-voltage switchgear because of its:
* Superior Insulating Properties,
* Exceptional Arc Quenching,
* Chemical Stability, and
* Non-flammability,
It is also an extremely potent greenhouse gas with a high global warming potential (GWP). Thus, it is important to have an SF6 gas sensor to detect if it is leaking into the environment. It must be installed close to the floor, ideally a f
