MSENSE® FO

How do I detect high temperatures directly in the windings in order to prevent damage?

Fiber-optic online temperature measurement with the MSENSE® FO System

Detect hot spots directly at the source
For a quantifiably longer service life
12°C
Increases in the winding temperature drastically reduce the service life of the transformer by 75 %.
MSENSE® FO provides a modular system for optimal temperature management.
Maximum efficiency as well as overload and service-life management, in combination with ETOS®.

Power transformer failures are extremely costly.

Precise overload management guarantees a long service life and efficient operation

 

  • According to a study by CIGRE*, winding problems are the cause of up to 45% of transformer failures.
  • An increase of just 12 °C in the winding temperature drastically reduces the service life of the transformer by 75%.
  • Conventional winding-temperature thermometers only offer a calculated, average depiction of the temperature profile. 
  • For critical and important applications in particular, precise and effective temperature management is key.
  • And that is exactly why we developed the fiber-optic MSENSE® FO system.

The early warning system for a long service life

  • Online monitoring of the winding temperature forms the basis for optimal temperature management.
  • The MSENSE® FO system accurately depicts the winding temperature continuously in real time.
  • It shows the thermal state of the transformer at all times. 
  • As an early warning system, MSENSE® FO provides operational security and ensures a long service life.
  • Monitoring of thermal loads with MSENSE® FO while also using ETOS® guarantees grid stability and enables responses to dynamic overloads.
