Electrical switchgear refers to a combination of circuit breakers, fuses and switches (circuit protection devices) that function to protect, control and isolate electrical equipment. The circuit protection devices are mounted in metal structures. They are one of the most important electrical devices in Power Plants and distributing stations, preventing short circuits and system overload.
The moving and fixed contacts and bus bar joints of the switchgear are always under high voltage stress. Because of oxidation, corrosion, loosening and aging, the surface resistance at contact points and joints increases, the temperature rises at contact points and joints and leads to overheating. Thus, this affects the insulation and shortens the equipment’s operational lifespan.
FluoroSenz Temperature Monitoring System conducts real-time monitoring to accurately measure temperature at switchgear contact points and cable joints, which makes ideal maintenance at unmanned substations.
The size of the temperature measuring Fiber optic cable is really small, so it can be installed on the measuring point to achieve high measurement accuracy and high response frequency. It can be used in harsh environments such as high pressure, high temperature and strong electromagnetism.
Fsenz is Organised and Managed by Tempsens Instruments (I) Pvt. Ltd. is one of the largest solution providers for Thermal and Cable Products. The manufacturing facilities are based in India, Germany, and Indonesia. It’s a part of Pyrotech Group, which was established by four technocrats in 1976 at Udaipur, Rajasthan with the first product as Thermocouple and RTD.
