Temperature Monitoring Systems for Switchgear

Overheating, insulation degradation, and air dielectric breakdown are the three most common causes of switchgear panel failures. Left unaddressed, they lead to asset damage or failure, increased maintenance costs, production losses, and potential health and safety issues.

While condition-based monitoring programs are being more broadly implemented, the process often requires the integration of several independent systems to monitor the failure modes which leads to high costs. INNOVIT’s temperature Monitoring system for low and medium voltage switchgear provides comprehensive real-time, continuous monitoring of the three primary causes of failures in one unit, leading to lower installation costs.
