JNT Infra-View - Model GB/IS -Generator Bus Duct Thermometer
The Infra-View GB/IS Generator Bus Duct Thermometer is an advanced infrared sensor specifically designed to monitor the temperature within isophase bus ducts. Constructed to endure the intense electromagnetic fields generated by high voltage and current levels, the thermometer operates effectively in environments exceeding 24 kV/kA. This device provides a remote temperature measurement range from 0°F to 1,000°F, suitable for critical monitoring in power generation systems. The Infra-View thermometer's design prioritizes durability and functionality, ensuring minimal maintenance requirements. It serves as an essential tool for engineers in need of reliable temperature data to maintain optimal operation, safety, and efficiency within energy facilities.
The Infra-View® GB/IS Generator Bus Temperature Monitor is an encapsulated infrared sensor designed with components that are able to withstand the considerable EMF generated by the iso-phase bus bar.
Due to the high voltages and amperages, in excess of 24 kV/kA, the Infra-View® GB/IS is mounted on the bus duct in a direct field of view to the iso-phase bus, in order to remotely measure temperatures from 0°F (-18°C) to 1,000°F (538°C)
- Specifically designed for uprated generators designed to produce greater MW output
- Differing iso-phase bus temperatures indicate unbalanced loads between phases
- Measure iso-phase bus temperature remotely and annunciate alarms conditions
- Eliminate bus failure from heat build-up generated from loose arcing connections
- Used for uprated generators where copper bus work has not been upgraded to match
- Measure flexible link and transformer connections
- Bus Temperatures are measured to within +/- 1.0°F or C with a span from 0°F (-18°C) to 1,000° F (538°C)
- Temperature data is transmitted via a loop powered 24 VDC/4-20 mA connection directly to the control room DCS
- Acquired data of each iso-phase can then be recorded into a history file for comparison to MW load and iso-phase bus temperature
- Overall load shedding or inspections can then be performed based on this valuable data preserving the integrity on the iso-phase bus work
