Winding and oil temperature
indicators Comem WTI/OTI
Reliable temperature monitoring
Thermometers are based on Bourdon working
principle, which enables a direct and precise
conveyance of the temperature rise from the bulb
up to the main dial. The adjustable switching system
connected to the pointer shaft provides the desired
alarm/trip signals.
On Comem OTI, the bulb of thermometer detects
the transformer oil temperature variations
generating a contraction or expansion of the
capillary connected to the pointer shaft.
On Comem WTI, given that a direct measurement
of the winding temperature is not feasible,
the device makes use of thermal image technology
whereas the sensing system comprises a heat
sensitive resistive circuit through which passes
a current proportional to winding current.
A potentiometer placed on the main dial allows
to adjust the resistive circuit depending
on the transformer parameters.
Crucial parameters to be monitored
in large distribution transformers
and power transformers are
winding and oil temperatures,
those give a fundamental
understanding about the overall
performances of your valuable
equipment by avoiding
unacceptablethermal degradation
and ensuring a longer lifetime.
