Surface acoustic wave sensor for temperature measurement
Applications
- Condition monitoring for medium-voltage switchgear in conjunction with the reader (AMS01), the antenna (AN-F1) for partial discharge detection by UHF and the environmental sensor (EXT-ENV-SENS)
- Measurement and monitoring of the temperature of live conductors
- Compatible with ANSI and IEC medium-voltage standards
- New installation or retrofitting of medium-voltage switchgears
Special features
- Wireless and passive temperature sensor
- Easy to install and commission
- Maintenance-free
- Comprehensive data communication (local, remote, Modbus®, SCADA, IIoT PD service)
Description
The advanced monitoring solution for monitoring partial discharge and temperature in medium-voltage switchgear uses surface acoustic wave and ultra high frequency sensing technology. It features an integrated IIoT platform to improve the safety, efficiency and durability of medium-voltage switchgear.
By using condition monitoring systems, approx. 75 % of disruptions can be prevented through early fault detection, thus reducing both maintenance costs and intervals.
The model TSA-EV11 passive SAW temperature sensor is designed for switchgear monitoring. By measuring and monitoring the temperature of live conductors, overheating and overloading can be prevented.
The sensor can only be used in metal cavities such as control cabinets.
It is IEC 62271 compliant and can therefore be used in switchgear worldwide without a licence.
