Thermal monitoring for dry transformers

Continuously monitor temperature across critical dry transformer connections to detect abnormal thermal conditions before failures occur. With 24/7 visibility from permanently installed sensors, our CTM solution helps protect assets, improve safety, and reduce the risk of unplanned outages.

Protect electrical infrastructure with continuous thermal monitoring sensors
 

For high voltage:

  • IR sensors continuously monitor both ends of each coil
  • IR sensor also continuously monitor coil tap connections

For low voltage:

  • IR sensors continuously monitor the three phase and neutral

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 brochure

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.

Benefits

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.

Features

The dry transformer solution from Eaton is suitable for both new build and retro-fit installation, and also OEM vendor neutral.

Permanent installation

Permanently installed sensors are fit-and-forget technology that continuously monitors the temperature of critical joints or connections.

Cost efficient

Permanently installed, factory‑fitted or retrofittable, CTM sensors work around the clock and silently in the background.

Real-time data

Once installed our sensors work 24x7, 365 days a year to continuously monitor your critical electrical assets and provide condition data.

Lifetime guarantee

We're so confident with the resilience built into our technology that we provide a lifetime guarantee on our sensor hardware.
