Thermal monitoring for dry transformers
For high voltage:
For low voltage:
IR sensors then connect back to the Exertherm Modbus datacard, which collects and transmits the Sensor temperature data, and activates alarms when a fault is detected.
Dry transformers are critical to the integrity of the electrical distribution.
When a transformer fails it is highly likely that the infrastructure will suffer an electrical outage, and will result in unplanned downtime and potentially expensive repair work.
Eaton Exertherm dry transformer CTM provides early warning of potentially compromised assets before they fail and cause an unplanned outage. The dry transformer solution alerts personnel to thermal changes in critical electrical assets that the eye can’t see, but may present problems such as failures, or worse, arc flash. This ‘fit and forget’ monitoring technology gives peace of mind that assets are operating at a safe temperature.
The dry transformer solution from Eaton is suitable for both new build and retro-fit installation, and also OEM vendor neutral.
Permanently installed sensors are fit-and-forget technology that continuously monitors the temperature of critical joints or connections.
Permanently installed, factory‑fitted or retrofittable, CTM sensors work around the clock and silently in the background.
Once installed our sensors work 24x7, 365 days a year to continuously monitor your critical electrical assets and provide condition data.
We're so confident with the resilience built into our technology that we provide a lifetime guarantee on our sensor hardware.
There are two connectivity options available:
Modbus RS485: datacard direct to BMS/SCADA via converter TCP/IP to BMS/SCADA
Local graphics on HMI & status LED + local/remote alarms + transfer of raw data via Modbus TCP/IP
Eaton is a global provider of 24x7 Thermal Condition Monitoring for electrical infrastructure, successfully installed worldwide by all major OEMs. We deliver complete solutions for LV/MV Switchgear, MCC Drawers, dry transformers and more. We’re so proud of our proven reliability we even offer a zero maintenance lifetime guarantee.
