TST – for transfomer applications

TST

TST

Fiber Optic Temperature Sensor

The TST probe is a robust, oil-permeable fiber optic sensor for monitoring temperature and “hot spots” inside oil-filled power transformers. The product is especially useful for monitoring transformer performance in manufacturing as well as over the product lifecycle. Over time, transformer temperature and performance can be influenced by oil breakdown as well as vibration.

The TS Trafo probe is completely passive and non-conductive. The innovative construction provides perfect protection against dielectric oils and other liquids, as well as prevents build-up of bubbles.

These sensors are easily installed and spacer-mounted directly on the transformer windings. In addition, a special optic feedthrough SINGLE-FT is available for installation on tank walls and transformer housing.

These innovative, passive sensors are completely completely immune to RFI, EMI, NMR and microwave radiation. The probes are also entirely inherently safe as they do not contain any components which could create sparks lead to explosions.
