Exertherm 24/7 Thermal Condition Monitoring

Predict and prevent more failures with Exertherm 24/7 Thermal Condition Monitoring

Exertherm® predictive thermal monitoring solutions are specifically designed to provide protection against major and expensive failures for more savings and increased safety. Exertherm® is a non-powered, non-contact infrared sensor solution which guarantees a lifetime warranty and maintenance-free operation. The system constantly provides key thermal data from internal electrical switchgear solutions to help reduce and remove the risk of major power outages caused by unseen connection failures and potentially catastrophic Arc Flash incidents.

Exertherm® 24x7 Thermal Monitoring

What does Exertherm® Thermal Monitoring provide?

The most common cause of electrical failures and arc flash incidents is poor busbar: busbar joints and cable terminations.

Exertherm 24x7 monitoring detects hotspots at an early stage of

development preventing downtime caused by electrical failure and

arc flash incidents.

What does Exertherm® Thermal Monitoring provide?

- Increased operator & facility safety

- Increased operational uptime

- Reduced risk of fire/explosion resulting from Arc Flash

- Real-time data = improved critical asset integrity

- Reduced unplanned maintenance

- OEM vendor neutral

- Suitable for retrofit or new-build

- Enhanced protection for critical

circuits operating at low load

Where to permanently monitor?

What does Exertherm® Thermal Monitoring provide?

Where to permanently monitor?

The Exertherm solution is suitable

for either LV or MV applications,

enabling the following critical and

key connections (including insulated bus) to be monitored in real-time:

- All AIS circuit breakers – line/load side

- Bus couplers – line/load side

- Critical vertical to horizontal

bus connections

Exertherm® Alarm Relay Module XL (ARM XL)

The Exertherm Alarm Relay Module XL (ARM XL) device is ideal for those who wish to continuously thermally monitor critical electrical

circuits, 100% of operational time, rather than rely on one day per year thermal inspections. It is designed for busy engineers who require a simple monitoring system to just inform when and where a fault is detected, without yet another suite of software.

This simple to use, plug and play device, which has 2 sets dry contact

relays for connection to a local alarm output and also to a BMS or

SCADA system. These relays are a dry contact type.

The ARM XL device connects up to a maximum of 10 Exertherm

8-channel Modbus Datacards (80 Exertherm IR or Cable Sensors) and

5 Exertherm MMA units each of which can connect 12 MMD units

(60 MCC Drawers). The ARM XL is supplied with a Comms cable for

connection to the 8ch Datacard and MMA.

Exertherm 24x7 Hotspot Detection for Bus Duct

Exertherm non-contact infrared sensor

The most common cause of electrical failures and arc flash incidents is poor busbar:busbar joints and cable terminations. A compromised joint can only be identified by the excess heat it generates. Not to confuse ‘excess heat’ with ‘heat rise’, Exertherm sensors measure the Delta T (ΔT). Sensors are permanently installed inside energised electrical equipment to directly view and continuously monitor the condition of critical joints.

Within the electrical infrastructure the critical Motor Control Centres (MCC) represent a major source of failure. These failures are caused by a number of different factors including:

• the impact of constant thermal cycling on the joints;

• weakening of spring-type connectors (jaws);

• the high number of site made terminations;

• the effect of these factors is multiplied by difficulty in maintaining these locations.

Exertherm’s Bus Duct Monitoring Solution matches the modularity of bus duct, is quick and easy to install, and just as versatile. It gives users a call-to-action on a specific joint which is potentially faulty and needs attention before a more serious problem occurs. Continuous monitoring provides a 24x7 early warning system to detect critical temperature rise and reduce the risk of power loss.
