Why Temperature Monitoring
Temperature is a critical determinant of transformer health and operational efficacy. As these assets age, increased temperatures diminish their capability to cope with even minor fluctuations, subsequently leading to unreliable performances. Traditional monitoring techniques are typically reactive, providing insights only after a critical event has occured leading to reactive maintenance practices.
Conversely, fiber optic temperature monitoring is a significant advancement in condition monitoring by providing real-time, data-driven decisions, enabling preventive measures while the transformer is in operation. Overtime, such proactive measures helps mitigate insulation degradation, maximizing transformer lifespan and enhancing their integrity and availability.
Why Rugged Monitoring-
Rugged Monitoring’s end-to-end system for proactive temperature monitoring in transformers shifts from reactive to proactive strategies with innovative fiber optic solutions. Our highly sensitive IoT Sensors are directly embedded into transformer windings to provide real-time, multi-point temperature measurement. They are immune to electromagnetic interference, crucial for high-voltage environments.
To complement these sensor capabilities, our smart edge devices allow real-time data acquisition and local processing. They perform real-time thermal analysis and insulation health diagnosis, empowering utilities, OEM’s and asset managers to detect anomalies and degradation trends before they escalate into failures.
Rugged Monitoring’s comprehensive temperature monitoring system reduces operational and maintenance costs, with real-time data driven insights that, maximize transformer lifespan and its performance.
