Switchgear Temperature Monitoring
OSENSA’s cost-effective fiber optic temperature sensors provide continuous real-time monitoring of switchgear temperature at critical contact points to quickly detect overload and fault conditions. OSENSA’s FTX series temperature transmitters offer both analog output and RS-485 Modbus communication for simple integration with existing PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and host monitoring software. OSENSA’s optical temperature sensors provide years of accurate sensing to ensure safe and efficient switchgear operation.

Advantages of OSENSA's Fiber Optic Temperature Sensors for Switchgear Monitoring
OSENSA’s fiber optic temperature sensors do not suffer any of the technical challenges associated with wireless and infrared thermometers. Fiber optic sensors can be routed directly to critical switchgear monitoring points. OSENSA’s low-cost optical temperature sensors are rigidly attached to hot-spot locations and are completely immune to electromagnetic interference and noise bursts caused by high-voltage switching. OSENSA’s fiber optic sensors are robust, can be manufactured to various lengths, and work like a conventional thermocouple. Each OSENSA optical temperature sensor transmitter can monitor three phases providing both analog output and digital RS-485 Modbus RTU communication. OSENSA’s fiber optic temperature probes are perfectly suited for smart grid switchgear temperature monitoring.

Thermal Protection for Cast Resin Transformers Monitoring Winding Temperature
Many cast-resin transformers are equipped with resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) for monitoring temperatures in the low-voltage windings. RTDs, however, cannot be inadequately insulated for use in high voltage windings. OSENSA’s PWR+ cast resin fiber optic temperature sensors are inherently safe and rated for transformer monitoring up to 38kV.

Thermal Protection for Generators & Motors
OSENSA’s Generator and Motor Temperature Monitoring Solutions Meet the Challenge
OSENSA’s PWR+ Temperature Monitoring Solutions provide continuous, real-time temperature monitoring of windings and connection points in generators and motors. The rugged and inherently safe temperature probes accurately and instantaneously measure temperatures up to 200°C and will last the life of the generator or motor without replacement. Typical utility sized generators or motors may contain as dozens of measurement points. Temperatures can be monitored and logged real-time with either the HMI 100 Display and Control Module, or with the TCU-300 Temperature Control Unit, with alarms for identifying temperature concerns and alerting appropriate personnel. Alternatively, the temperature transmitters can be embedded into an RTU, PLC or other control or monitoring system.

Thermal Protection for Oil-Filled Transformers
Introducing OSENSA’s XFMR+ Fiber Optic Temperature Sensing Solutions
Fiber optic temperature sensors have been installed in high-voltage oil-filled transformers for over twenty years. By monitoring temperatures at each transformer winding hot spot, utilities are able to operate the transformer at peak capacity, without extending into overload conditions that can dramatically reduce the life of the transformer.
OSENSA’s XFRM+ Temperature Monitoring Solutions provide continuous, real-time temperature monitoring of winding hot spots in oil-filled transformers. The rugged and inherently safe temperature probes accurately and instantaneously measure temperatures up to 230°C and will last the life of the transformer without replacement. Temperatures can be monitored and logged real-time with either the HMI-001 Display and Control Module series, with alarms for identifying temperature concerns and alerting appropriate personnel. Alternatively, the temperature transmitters can be embedded into an RTU, PLC or other control or monitoring system.

Switchgear Temperature Monitoring
Technology Overview And Selection Criteria
https://www.osensa.com/switchgear-temperature-monitoring-technology-overview
OSENSA Innovations Fiber Optic Temperature Sensing Solutions
OSENSA Innovations develops and manufactures fiber optic temperature sensor products for industrial applications including switchgear, power transformers, switchgear, generators, semiconductor, and MRI equipment. OSENSA’s fiber optic temperature sensors are solutions consisting of one or more fiber optic probes attached to a temperature transmitter (also known as signal conditioner) electronic device. OSENSA’s fiber optic sensing technology enables industrial-grade fiber optic solutions that are price-competitive with conventional wired thermocouples and RTDs (resistive thermal devices). Furthermore, OSENSA’s fiber optic temperature sensors are more durable and easier to install than competitive optical technologies. OSENSA’s fiber optic sensors are immune to electromagnetic radiation and compatible with high-voltage, high-RF (radio frequency), and high-magnetic-field environments, making them ideal for applications where thermocouples and RTDs fail.
