Why Temperature Monitoring in Switchgear
Temperature imbalances in switchgear can be caused by a wide range of factors such as uneven loads on circuits, loose and damaged connections or other external factors, all leading to catastrophic failures. Such fluctuations can eventually lead to insulation aging, poor contact, and even major fire incidents, jeopardizing asset safety and reliability. Additionally, temperature rises in switchgear and switchboard components can occur unexpectedly, causing thermal runaway, resulting in further damage and destruction of critical components.
Conventional visual inspection is not highly effective in detecting such abrupt thermal increases, which can result in insulation failures, asset degradation, or total equipment shutdown. With real-time, continuous temperature monitoring, early detection of fluctuations will facilitate in the proactive maintenance strategies, ensuring reliable and safe switchgear operations.
Why Rugged Monitoring-
Rugged Monitoring provides high-performance solutions engineered for medium and high-voltage switchgear environments. Our Temperature Monitoring System for switchgear delivers precise, real-time temperature readings from critical components like busbars, cable terminations, and breaker contacts, which are frequently impacted by aging, corrosion, or load imbalances. Our fiber optic sensors are immune to electromagnetic interference and are compact for tight enclosures. The system provides uninterrupted tracking, predictive analysis, and proactive alerts to identify anomalies before they become critical with our adaptable monitoring systems.
Rugged Monitoring’s condition monitoring solutions identifies sudden thermal rises that may lead to insulation degradation or operational failure. With IoT sensors, Edge devices, and advanced software, our solutions are customizable and configured to support multiple types of switchgear, such as AIS, GIS, and MV panels, to provide safe and efficient operation.
