Hot Spot Detection for Busbars and Cables

Test your knowledge and take our electrical connection quiz!

PyrOptic is an online temperature alarm. It replaces thermal imaging and routine offline inspections with a safer, more efficient and more effective solution. 

Distributed sensors (PyrOnodes) cut an optical fibre in response to abnormally high temperatures. Loss of continuity signals an over temperature event.

Optical continuity  is checked by

• monitoring relay or
• routine inspection ​

Economical

• The most cost effective online temperature monitoring solution for electrical connections

Reliable

• Based on the principle of thermal expansion
• Designed to lay dormant for decades 
• False alarm virtually impossible

​​Versatile

• Any voltage level
• Oil immersible
• Monitoring on rotating and moving parts

Automatic Monitoring Option

• Relays are inexpensive and readily available from multiple vendors  
• Various options to easily integrate into your plant PLC/DCS/Scada systems.

Routine Monitoring Option​

• Verify hundreds of connections in seconds
• Over temperature conditions are latched between inspection intervals
• Inspection can be scheduled irrespective of equipment loading 
• Eliminates exposure to live parts and arc flash hazards
