Protect electrical infrastructure with continuous thermal monitoring sensors

Continuous thermal monitoring technology enables critical MV switchgear joints and busbar connections to be monitored in real-time.

Thermal monitoring locations include:

  • IR sensors monitor main incomer breakers, line and load side
  • IR sensors monitor ACB feeders, line and load side
