Continuous thermal monitoring solutions for LV transformers
Electrical hotspots in low voltage transformers are a symptom of overheating joints or connections that have the potential to cause power outages
This solution is specifically designed to provide continuous thermal monitoring protection for LV transformers via our Modbus transformer solution (MTS) which is provided in kit form per transformer (various kits are available depending on transformer size).
Sensor looms connects back to the MTS datacard (MTD), which collects and transmits the sensor temperature data, and activates alarms when a fault is detected. The MTD is housed in an external enclosure, along with the LEDs to provide local alarm status.
The low voltage transformer solution is suitable for both new build and retro-fit installation, and is also OEM vendor neutral.
Permanently installed sensors are fit-and-forget technology that continuously monitors the temperature of critical joints or connections.
LV transformer sensors from Exertherm are supplied in a kit form to make installation as simple as possible.
Once installed the sensors work 24x7, 365 days a year to continuously monitor your critical electrical assets and provide condition data.
This non-contact and non-powered solution creates it's own power supply from within the asset to monitor critical bus and joint connections.
The LV transformer (MTS) thermal condition monitoring solution can be connected in 2 ways.
Local status LED + local/remote alarms.
Local status LED + local/remote alarms + transfer of raw data via Modbus 485.
