Why Temperature Monitoring in Circuit Breakers
Circuit breakers shield crucial assets by interrupting abnormal electrical conditions such as overcurrents or short circuits. Still, any incipient fault can compromise their safety. Temperature monitoring allows real-time identification of thermal anomalies due to load changes, insulation wear, or mechanical stress. These factors are usually not inspected during regular servicing. Prolonged inactivity coupled with moisture and contaminants can cause internal mechanisms to deteriorate, elevating the risk of failure.
Monitoring key areas like the control cubicle, operating mechanism, and surrounding environment helps early detection of potential faults. Unlike traditional methods, temperature monitoring offers continuous visibility, which avoids unplanned outages and proactive maintenance.
Why Rugged Monitoring-
Rugged Monitoring’s Temperature Monitoring in Circuit Breakers offers fiber optic-based solutions which include IoT sensors, edge-devices, and software to monitor critical temperatures in circuit breakers. These solutions provide real-time data on ambient temperature, regulate cubicle conditions, operating mechanisms, and auxiliary systems such as air compressors or hydraulic pressures. Our comprehensive system also operates reliably in harsh electrical environments to provide high stability and accuracy even in the presence of intense electromagnetic interference.
By offering non-intrusive installation, our system is ideal for new breaker and retrofit applications. With GaAs (Gallium Arsenide) and Fluorescence technology, our solutions ensure high accuracy and faster response. Integration with remote monitoring software provides centralized visibility and control. With enhanced analytics to real-time temperature measurements, our solution offers sophisticated capabilities like customizable alarms, threshold-based diagnostic testing, and performance dashboards, which allow asset managers to reduce downtime, optimize breaker health, and provide system-wide reliability.
