ACREL Channel Temperature Controller for Real-Time Monitoring

The ACREL Channel Temperature Controller for Real-Time Monitoring is a multi-channel temperature monitoring and control device designed to measure and monitor temperature at multiple points within electrical equipment.

In electrical distribution and industrial power systems, temperature increases at connection points, busbars, cable joints, and other components can indicate conditions such as excessive current, poor connections, contact resistance, or equipment faults. If these conditions are not detected, excessive heating can potentially lead to equipment damage or unplanned shutdowns.

The ProSight Channel Temperature Controller for Real-Time Monitoring provides centralized monitoring of multiple temperature measurement points through a single controller. It can be connected to compatible temperature sensors installed at critical locations, allowing operators to view temperature information and receive alarms when monitored temperatures exceed configured thresholds.

With its multi-channel design, the controller is suitable for applications where several temperature points need to be monitored simultaneously, helping maintenance and operations personnel identify abnormal temperature conditions more efficiently.

How Does It Work?

• Temperature sensors are installed at critical monitoring points within electrical equipment.
• The sensors detect the temperature of the monitored components or connection points.
• Temperature signals are transmitted to the ARTM-8 temperature controller.
• The controller processes the temperature information from multiple channels.
• Operators can view the monitored temperature values through the controller's display.
• If the measured temperature reaches a configured alarm threshold, the controller activates the corresponding alarm function.
• Relay outputs can be used to interface the controller with external alarm or control equipment, depending on the system configuration.
• Maintenance personnel can respond to abnormal temperature conditions before they develop into more serious equipment problems.
