Application Of Wireless Temperature Measurement Products in A Power Distribution Project in A Factory in The Philippines

Abstract

The power distribution system is a power network system that is composed of a variety of power distribution equipment and power distribution facilities to transform voltage and directly distribute electrical energy to end users. As a part of the power system, the power distribution system directly faces end users, and its perfection directly affects the reliability and quality of power consumption of the majority of users, so it has an important position in the power system. Therefore, in order to avoid serious accidents such as equipment aging, equipment burnout, power supply interruption, fire and explosion of equipment due to high temperature, long-term temperature monitoring of each electrical node can avoid serious failures that may cause personal injury and economic loss to users.

Project Overview

This project is a power distribution project in a factory in the Philippines. It is used in a 32kV power distribution cabinet and needs to be equipped with wireless temperature measurement products to achieve safe temperature monitoring. The working environment temperature of the sensor meets the requirement of -50℃ to +125℃. Choose our ATE400 CT induction power sensor, and use the ATC400 transceiver to connect the temperature display device. For the sake of safety and economic benefits, it is recommended to conduct real-time temperature monitoring at each electrical node in the power distribution room.

Product Design

ARTM-Pn wireless temperature measuring equipment has been developed in compliance with Specification for Wireless Temperature Measuring equipment, NB/T 42086-2016. It is suitable for 3-35kV indoor switchgears, including built-in switchgears, handcart switchgears, fixed switchgears and loop-net switchgears. It is also suitable for 0.4kV low-voltage switchgears such as fixed switchgears and drawer switchgears. The wireless temperature sensors can be installed at any heating point in switchgears, the device utilizes the wireless data transmission technology for real-time transmission of monitored temperature data and displays such data on ARTM-Pn locally. In addition, it can be networked via the RS485 port for remote intelligent monitoring.

There are three types of ATE series wireless temperature sensors and three mounting methods correspondingly, i.e. bolted type, strap-secured type and tied type. The bolted type is suitable for use at joints between cable and bus bar and joints between cable and disconnector. The strap-secured type is suitable for use at moving contacts and fixed contacts of breaker, cable joints and bus bar. The tied type is suitable for use at moving contacts, bus bars, cables and joints between bus bar and cable.

Network Tepology

Wireless Temperature Monitoring System is suitable for 3-35kV indoor switchgears, including built-in switchgears, handcart switchgears, fixed switchgears and loop-net switchgears. It is also suitable for 0.4kV low-voltage switchgears such as fixed switchgears and drawer switchgears.

The information exchange between the wireless temperature sensor and the host is transmitted through wireless signals, which will not affect the insulation performance of the system and is safe to use. The wireless temperature measurement system is mainly applicable to the industrial field. It can monitor the temperature of high-voltage cable joints and high-voltage switch cabinet contacts in real time, so that operation and maintenance personnel can remotely grasp the on-site operation status.

Features of Wireless Temperature Monitoring System

(1) The wireless temperature measurement module is safe and reliable, and easy to install and maintain. It is suitable for temperature monitoring at the high voltage and high current contacts of the middle switch. The structure of the device under test does not need to be changed.

(2) The entire wireless temperature measurement system can communicate wirelessly, and the signal transmission is convenient.
