Fotemptrafo For Smart Grid Temperature Sensing In Transformer

December 1, 2014

PresseBox) (Dresden, 27.11.2014) Power plants and grids are stretched to their limits. To ensure the operational safety, critical factors such as “Hot-Spots” inside high voltage transformers, power factor correction capacitors and alternators are monitored. Other possible capabilities are temperature measurement on high voltage distribution power lines such as for electric trains or in gas isolated power breakers and in power factor adjustment capacitors. Under such difficult and harsh environments conventional measurement systems can not guarantee a reliable temperature monitoring. An … Read More → "Fotemptrafo For Smart Grid Temperature Sensing In Transformer"
