ACREL Wireless Temperature Sensor Monitor for Electrical Switchgear

SKU: ARTM-Pn
$782.00Price
ACREL Wireless Temperature Sensor Monitor for Electrical Switchgear provides continuous temperature monitoring for electrical connection points in high and low voltage switchgear, including busbar connections, cable joints and circuit breaker contacts. It supports up to 60 wireless temperature sensors and communicates via RS485 using Modbus-RTU. With continuous monitoring and a digital measurement system, the ARTM-Pn helps identify abnormal temperature conditions before excessive heat at electrical connections becomes a larger equipment issue.
Quantity

The ACREL Wireless Temperature Sensor Monitor for Electrical Switchgear is designed for continuous monitoring of temperature at electrical connection points where overheating can indicate a developing electrical fault.

The system is intended for applications such as high and low voltage switch cabinets, where temperature sensors can be installed at locations including cable joints, busbar connections and circuit breaker contacts. The wireless arrangement reduces the need for signal wiring from individual temperature measurement points back to the monitoring device.

The ACREL Wireless Temperature Sensor Monitor for Electrical Switchgear supports up to 60 wireless temperature sensors, with compatible sensor types listed by Acrel including ATE100, ATE200, ATE300B, ATE300 and ATE400. The supplied product page specifies temperature precision of ±2 °C.

How it works

  • Wireless temperature sensors are installed at selected electrical connection points within the switchgear.
  • The sensors measure temperature and transmit the readings wirelessly to the ARTM-Pn monitoring device.
  • The ARTM-Pn receives and displays the temperature information for the connected measurement points.
  • Up to 60 sensor points can be monitored by the device.
  • Temperature data can be communicated to external monitoring equipment through the RS485 interface using Modbus-RTU.

Why choose this product?

  • Continuous monitoring - provides ongoing temperature monitoring rather than relying solely on periodic manual inspection.
  • Multiple measurement points - supports up to 60 wireless temperature sensors, making it suitable for larger switchgear monitoring requirements.
  • Wireless sensor connection - avoids the need to run individual temperature signal cables from every monitoring point.
  • Industrial communication - RS485 with Modbus-RTU provides a practical interface for integration with compatible monitoring and control equipment.
  • Suitable for switchgear - designed specifically around monitoring electrical connection points in high and low voltage switchgear.

Benefits

The main benefit of the ACREL Wireless Temperature Sensor Monitor for Electrical Switchgear is the ability to observe temperature changes at multiple electrical connection points while equipment remains in service. This can help maintenance personnel identify developing hot spots associated with issues such as loose connections, oxidation or increased contact resistance.

The manufacturer also describes the system as suitable for continuous online monitoring and states that the wireless temperature measurement is designed to operate without interference from strong electric and magnetic fields.
