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 EXT-ENV-SENS environmental sensor is connected to the reader (AMS01) by cable and monitors the ambient temperature, relative humidity and dew point of medium voltage switchgear. The monitoring of partial discharges is optimized using these values.
The sensor can only be used in metal spaces such as control cabinets. It is IEC 62271 compliant and can therefore be used in switchgear worldwide without a license.
